| X5080 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. Se. WOP. ES/ms.9.7.30. X.1698 X.5080 X.2677 RE. VISIT TO WV. NEXT WEEK. In connection with the above R, would like you to bring down a 25 HP. chassis fitted with the twin carburetter and induction pipe if this is possible. Our design of this type of induction for Phantom 2, is making good progress. We are doing all the governor control gear and including a delay action accelerator pump so as to make a thorough job of it, hence some little delay. We are sending to Derby this afternoon the design for a petrol pump to go on to existing Phantom engines in place of the vacuum pump. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
