EAC.10. EXHAUST PIPE FLANGE. X7230

We send you herewith a blueprint of LeC. 2542. shewing the above.

In addition to the modifications you mention we have shewn the bolt size reduced from .312 to .250.

It is suggested to make the spherical washer in aluminium.

We now propose to instruct this design unless we hear to the contrary.

The original of LeC. 2542. is attached to BY's copy of this memo.
