Edwards}4/GH.3.4.40. re VAUXHALL WATER PUMP. ----------------------- We have recently obtained a Vauxhall 25 water pump, and we are rather anxious to try this on an engine. We should be glad, therefore, if you would look into the job, with a view to preparing a modified back plate which would allow us to fit the pump to either a B.60 or B.80 engine. We should also like a dimensioned arrangement of the pump for record purposes, and will hand it to you for this purpose right away. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards} | ||
