| X8050 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E3/M6.7.26. LIGHTER PHANTOM ENGINE - X.8050. Referring to the scheme you sent us for the cylinder head water outlet made in aluminium, we send you herewith drawing LeC. 2267. embodying certain modifications desired by Mr. Royce. This drawing shews the male thread for the bottom union embodied in the water cover itself. The pieces have also been generally lightened at R's request. The dimensions for the diameter of the union nuts are however taken from our original LeC. design. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
