| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x1033 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}22/KW.21.11.35. Phantom III. The results obtained with the Duplex Downdraught Stromberg carburetter are so promising that it is proposed to standardise this system. With this in view will you please have 4 sets of induction systems made, suitable for adapting to the existing 6 port head. The layout of this system is to LeC.4748, including the hot spot box to LeC.4740, and is water heated. The complete details are almost finished by the D.O., instructions for part of the job having been issued to BY/CS.4/EH.15.11.35 and BY/CS.1/EH.12.11.35. The remaining details are being issued almost immediately. We should be interested to know if a completion date can be fixed for the job. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/L.H.Swindall. | ||
