| X.4305 Extract from EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thnl/H13.8.21. 6. Exhaust heated throttle. "Cabled Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} for him to send here an experimental scheme, no matter how crude so long as it works O.K. at Derby, to try out here. Different petrol here, afraid of condensation and pre-ignitions. Am now about to make tests of this action on Dynamometer". EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. | ||
