DAS/CB29-10-20. -------------------- X.4197 Re Oil Separator for Tyre Pump. -------------------- Please receive herewith two blue prints of "H" Scheme 611 shewing a proposed separator. We think it may be found that the Maxfield separator will be suitable for the T.R. pump, as well as for the Maxfield, and in this case no doubt they would be used. As, however, the Maxfield seems to be on the small side, and is rather crude, we have prepared the above scheme on lines discussed with Mr Royce and suggest that a sample separator should be made with a view to getting some experience.
