| X.2758, HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sft.{Mr Swift} c. to Ws. HsB/LG6.4.21. X.2758 40/50 CHASSIS INDUCTION PIPES. We have tested the induction pipe which has been machined for the holes where the castings are brazed. We find that this pipe is quite satisfactory, in fact, if anything, it is better than some of the standard parts. We recommend that this method is adopted as soon as possible.
