REC'D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} & DESPATCHED FROM WW. 2.3.28. X7230 EAC.10. "SS{S. Smith}". EXHAUST PIPE. Re. LeC. 2518., this appears the simplest form that promises to be efficient, and should be made like this drawing until it is proved to be defective. I think a 4 bolter flange would be more satisfactory at the bottom. I believe we should like it better, and it would be more practical and less costly. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
