| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 4508 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}3/KW.31.5.35. 25 HP. Carburetter. In order to find what the variation in consumption is with the drawing limits in the extreme, will you please make for us two sets of parts. Attached drawings shew the strongest condition in red and the weakest in blue. The results of these tests should give us a definite proof of whether it is necessary to tighten up the existing limits. In each case will you please fit the standard 25 HP. suction piston. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/L.H.Swindall. | ||
