| B1 TO DY.{F R Danby} (struck through) FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to - CJ (struck through) HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL E1/M27.8.25. EAC. AND 20HP. ENGINES - X8000 (handwritten, crossed out) OIL LEAK - REAR END. X8780 X5980 (handwritten) Referring to the oil leak on the rear fitting of the high pressure oil gallery pipe which we endeavoured to cure on production by making the rear portion a better fit in the crankcase, we send herewith LeC. 2128., shewing means for curing the trouble by attaching a cover. This cover makes a joint to the crankcase by means of a cork washer. We also shew a scheme for attaching a cover to the crankcase by means of 3 countersunk screws, but this necessitates an alteration to the pattern, and should not be carried out unless found necessary.
