| 1263 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}27/AP.18.11.36. S.U. PETROL PUMP. We have not got much margin on the P.III. with the pump fitted with the new diaphragms. The two improvements we want to make as soon as we can complete tests are:- 1. Air bottles on existing pump. 2. Larger float chamber needle valve seat. The extra pump scheme may take longer than either of the above. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
