EXHAUST MANIFOLD. Attached is a test we have carried out on the expansion of the exhaust pipes. We have reports from France that the dowel pieces have been sheared off due to the incorrect fitting of these items. We should be glad if you will make the necessary alterations to allow for the movement of the pipe under running conditions. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
