| By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x7080 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/AD30.11.31. HOT SPOTS - P.II CONTINENTAL. We are now fitting the two carburetters which were designed for J.III on the Continental P.II (Carbs. to L&C.2924). In order to get hot spots to these two carburetters we want two additional passages through the head as on J.III. These can be incorporated in the pattern of the 5.25 C/R head which is in any case a special head. Will you please issue instructions to the pattern shop. We shall utilise the universal induction pipes which you have already given us for these carburetters. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
