| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E1/M6.6.28. EAC.10 INDUCTION PIPE. X.7070 X.7080 We send herewith Lec.2562 shewing an induction pipe suitable, as far as we can make out in the absence of actual dimensions, for any of the proprietary carburetters. This will enable you to get the engine running while we finish the design for the special vertical RR. type carburetter. If you deem it necessary and advisable to make any alteration to the design of this pipe when you have obtained exact particulars of the carburetters to be employed, we should be glad to have your suggestions. The induction system completed is intended to be suitable for use in the chassis. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
