Bailey - Chief Engineer} " " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " " EPC. E2/G17/8/30. X.3801. RE "BUZZARD" CYLINDER HEAD. We send you herewith drawing Lec.1276 showing the near side "Buzzard" cylinder head. The offside cylinder head will be of similar design except that it will not require locating lips for the valve gear, and its exhaust outlet will be situated between cylinders 5 and 6 instead of between cylinders 1 and 2, as on the near side head. Details of the water outlet to the radiator will be sent on a later scheme. Would you kindly instruct. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
