Bailey - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} _______ Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}10/R.22.4.37. 25/30 PETROL FILTER. The petrol filter on 22.G.V. has been fitted in the o.s. bottom corner between the engine and the radiator. A bracket carries the filter off the frame. It is accessible and free from fouling the engine movement. The petrol pipes are fitted on the outside of the frame, cutting out absorption of heat from under the bonnet. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Dixon will carry out temperature tests, and report upon same. We recommend the P.III filter to be fitted under the valance of the rear O.S. door. A cork petrol tap will be necessary. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
