X4305 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG23. 9. 21. X.4305. EXHAUST HEATED THROTTLE. We have found that we can correct the distribution of this throttle by altering the contour of the inside. We have done this by filling it up with wax. We are now having the cores altered so that we can reproduce the shape of the casting. We find that, what is required is, symmetrical passages from the throttle. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
