Strong} Margaret's. E1/W151017. RECEIVED Please note before leaving St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Margaret's we packed the following experimental pieces and forwarded them to you per passenger train:- X.2871. Al. wire tube. Eagle Piston. Water heated throttle. Al. Eagle induction pipe. X.2909 Light Camshaft drive pieces. X.2850 Main bearing bolts. Crank spring drive. X.2172 Steering tube JOINT L & C 832 Brake Shoe for By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Asbestos and Steel strip. X.2814 12-cylinder Remy distributor & coil. Packard coil. (Delco) X.3130 Air Valve for tank. Car Bosch Magneto Parts. Falcon Valve. Ordinary Steering joint. Old type camshaft universal. The water heated throttle will be useful for X.2612 experiments to determine the relative value of a jacket on X.2640 the throttle valve. Now that the winter is very near we shall probably be hearing some more about water heated throttles. The objection we have to them at present is the frightful complication of water connections which they may introduce. X.1422 Would you please send the brake shoe lined with asbestos and steel strip to Mr. Bailey. X.2814. X.3199. With regard to the Remy and Packard coils would you please note that Mr. Royce requires these to be taken down with E K S 322 Y (400 L) (2 C. P20 10-3-16) C 1248 | ||
