1129 1325 To Mr. Pesket. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}32/JH. 26.10.36. Air Flow Rig - No. 2c Bed. It has been agreed with Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} that this rig might be rigged up in a considerably better manner than has been used to date, and a suggested arrangement is shown on the accompanying sketch. The attachment to the blower has been modified and led straight into the trench, from which an existing pipe, slightly shortened, leads along the trench to the air flow platform. A double tube water manometer could with advantage be mounted on the wall. The exhaust from the blower should be led above the door, and blown vertically upwards. We should be glad if you would carry out these alterations at your earliest convenience, as it will soon be desired to use the rig. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/J.L. Edwards. | ||
