| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5230- E1/M13.7.28. INDIA 3. CYLINDER BLOCK. X.5050 X.5070 X.5230 We send herewith Lec. 2574 showing the two bolter flange for the water pipe connection to the cyl. block on India 3. in place of the three bolter shown on Lec. 2573. Would you kindly incorporate the two bolter design in your drawings. Regarding your telegram of even date concerning cyl. block and head, we wish to retain the exhaust jacket connection in the head for possible future requirements in connection with alternative forms of induction pipes. The cyl. head as telegraphed should therefore be to the original drg. Lec. 3566, & but should have any minor alterations required to fit the induction pipe shown on Lec. 2573.
