To EY. from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}

E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}2/HP.22.11.33.

re Vulture.

We send you herewith drawings:

LeC.3708 Radiator.
LeC.3711 Oil connections from sump to oil pump.

This has to be a special feature on this engine to give the necessary clearance between the front of the engine and the cross steering tube.

LeC.3709) Camshaft torque curves for
LeC.3710) balancing cam.

We put these to you as a proposal instead of using RR. scheme 487, as we are able to show on the diagram a slightly better anti-torque curve.

E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}
