Regarding LeC. 2136. the revised drawing of Eagle XVI. wheelcase, shortly to be sent to Derby, will give you full details of the hand starter suitable for Falcon X., and the drawing of the Falcon X. supercharger already sent, gives you particulars of the multiplication gear for driving the supercharger. Regarding LeC. 2143. this is a rough drawing got out merely to find the approximate size of the carburetter for the installation drawing. Regarding the installation drawing - LeC. 2133. - this shews approximately the position of the various auxiliaries, but further scheming will be necessary before the arrangement of pumps shewn can be finally determined.
