| 8/1209 To EJJ. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}19/JH.5.11.36. No 30 Test Bed. Exhaust System. We have always had a lot of trouble with the exhaust system in the above test house. With further reference to our conversation, the sketch referred to is attached. What is actually required is a smaller version of the water cooled manifold used on the aero test bed. It would be an advantage if the draughtsman detailed for this job first inspected the test bed, as we wish the scheme to be suitable for more than one type of engine.
