X.3806 R2/M3. 2. 29. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} SS.{S. Smith} AND G4. CENTRAL OILING. These little Bijur valves and restrictors do not seem very practical, but they will do for the present. I suggested little air reservoirs, each of which would require a back pressure valve. One would think that the bearing might be its own restriction as in engine pressure system. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
