| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} +3317 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW.9.4.35. Hot Spot Temperatures. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} wants to know the hot spot temperatures of the Buick. Will you please arrange to fit Thermo Couples in the induction pipe that you have fitted to the Buick head so that we can get readings on this which are comparable with those that you have taken on your mock-up SpectreCodename for Phantom III system. When the head is rigged up we will fit it to the Buick car. At the same time will you please get hold of a Phantom hot spot and arrange a Thermo Couple on the inside of this so that we can obtain similar readings.
