| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG4. 9. 28. F.{Mr Friese} S. CARBURETTERS. El/M28. 7. 28. X3933 In your memo. you say it is proposed not to connect together the annular air spaces behind the chokes etc. Lr.{Mr Ellor} thinks these should be connected together as, with two intakes, a change of attitude of aircraft may effect one more than the other. We are rigging up a fan to be able to test slip stream effects on air intakes and hope to let you have some information shortly. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
