| DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/OB17-8-20 contd. As shewn on the LeC, the holes past the Reserve Device air holes some out rather small, and we suggest in Fig.5 that the annulus under the filter should be reduced a little in order to make these holes larger. Another suggested slight modification is an extension of the boss on the top cap to provide a stop for the upward movement of the valve. With reference to "N" Scheme 538 the single right angle bend causes the pipe to pass through the luggage grid and we suggest that two right angle bends are desirable as shewn, the pipe then passing through the gap in the luggage grid carrier bracket.
