| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C-BY/CS. X5070 BY9/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 1.4.27. RECEIVED APR 1 1927 20 HP. EXHAUST AND INDUCTION SYSTEM. We do not appear to have received a standardization sheet for LeC.2216, covering an improved and combined aluminium cast iron induction system, with through bolts at the neck where the induction system has previously broken adrift. It seems to me that we ought to do something on this as the old trouble goes on still of breaking the induction pipes in the neck. If you could get a standardization sheet issued for this I think it is quite possible we could get it in for the next Series. BY, BY | ||
