Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Phantom 3 Petrol Filter and Tap. Please receive herewith:- LeC.4795 shewing the petrol filter which is on the outside of the frame arranged with a tap which can be turned off to prevent syphoning of the petrol from the tank when the filter is cleaned. We have embodied a cork faced tap in the top of the filter body. This is the only place that we have found where we can fit a tap which is reasonably accessible. It is essential to have the tap close to the filter so that the job can be easily understood by the operator. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} LeC.4795 herewith. | ||
