| +209 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}13/KW.17.12.34. Graham Supercharger on B-12 Unit. We wish to try the effect of Buick hot spot in the Test Bed Exhaust system so that we can control the heat to supercharger casing, and attached are drawings of the flanges we require for the job. We should like this hot spot fitted as early as possible, as we find that we are likely to get better results with exhaust heat than with water as used on the Graham.
