| - 2 - Continued:- 4. The Vauxhall sealing washer is in bakelite as against carbon for the R.R. We consider that it is essential to provide an alternative to carbon from the point of view of expense, and an investigation is to be carried out on the Vauxhall pump by fitting it to one of our engines for test.
