X. 8230 To CJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} R10/M13.10.25. PHANTOM EXHAUST SYSTEM. We have to improve the efficiency of the exhaust system. The only way I know is to increase the capacity or cooling. An alum. smaller silencer is to be tried - WW. to make a drawing: it is very good at present but we lose too much power. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
