| -3- Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/WJ.26.9.38. Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Another interesting point was that leylands were using on their water pumps the carbon disc glands without any packing. They claim that with these they can forget all the water pump troubles of leaky glands and replacing the packing. We have a water pump of this type schemed out for the aero engine but we strongly recommend that we consider it for all our cars. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
