| -2- contd :- 'Fox' machines which has been flying with an F.{Mr Friese} engine for 18 months. On the experimental machine the oil filter is submerged in the tank and there are only two connections on the suction pipe and the addition of the thermometer connection. It has been arranged that all the service machines will have the installation altered and made similar to the experimental machine. It is very unfortunate for us that we have had these installation failures on the first engines to go into service. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
