Typed: We send you a further exhaust manifold LeC.4544 which is purely experimental; it consists of using the weight of metal of the cooling fins to thicken the pipe. No pattern work is desired as the foundry can use the pattern to LeC.4408 by rubbing away the sand from the outside of the mould, the coring of the pipe and branches being unaltered.
