| contd :- -2- We are in hopes that before this car returns to France it will be fitted with a weir type of induction pipe which has lately promised to be valuable, in that we can cut off the exhaust heating to the throttle and its objectionable valve in the exhaust pipe. There are some modifications to the steering; when I saw it, it had an objectionable long tube which I could not agree to. Steering is dealt with in another memo. Pistons are dealt with in another memo. If there is any advantage in the single bolt pedestal skirt, here is a chance of fitting 6 more for confirmation. We shall be sending on the 30th. the modifications we think would make this piston the best we know. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
