| X7070 To BY/SS.{S. Smith} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ACL. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ACL1/LG10. 2. 28. WEIR TYPE INDUCTION MANIFOLD FOR PHANTOM. X7070 In course of our experiments we found that the one piece weir manifold E.76461 gave better results than the built up type E.76584. We favour the built up construction because it permits more accurate internal finish and we think would give more consistent results when in production. We should therefore like the built up type modified to give the same internal contours as shewn on drg. E.76461 and sketched in on appended drawings. We should be glad if you would supply the necessary drawings so that we may test an induction system on these lines. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.C.Lovesey. | ||
