| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X506 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.6/KW.28.6.35. 20/25 INDUCTION PIPE & EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2014. The above pipes are the ones which are to be fitted to Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car. We should like you to take three castings from the pattern of each pipe in addition to the ones which you already have. (we shall want to alter the patterns later to take a Bendix thermostatic choke) as these three pipes will be needed for other engines. When you have fitted up the controls for the Stromberg carburettor on 18-G-IV, will you please prepare two precisely similar sets of controls for Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car and 20-G-IV.
