| COPY. X7460. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E2/M15.10.31. X7460 C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P. 2. PETROL PUMP CONVERTED TO DIRECT ACTING. We send you herewith LeC. 2961. shewing the above. The same camshaft wheel with .250 eccentric is used and there is of course no alteration to the engine. An air chamber greatly increased in size has been incorporated in the suction side of the pump and the mechanism is now positive in its action, which latter does not call for any constant severe load on the eccentric.
