42677 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}3/KW.28.11.34. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Fuel Pump. We attach herewith a drawing showing two small modifications which the S.U. Co. carry out on the above pump castings to bring it into line with their scheme for the large capacity pump. We have had one of these pumps built up for 5-B-IV incorporating 5/16" unions in place of 3/8" as used on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. This is with a view to obtaining a standard fuel pump for both cars. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
