| To EY. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3642 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG3.6.24. X3642 RE. 40/50 HP. SILENCER SNOUT. We notice on numbers of 40/50 HP. cars, the silencer snout has been opened up between the bars welded in the end of the snout, due to explosions in the silencer. This has happened although the bars have not given way. We recommend that the gauge of the material for the snout is increased to 14 S.W.G. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
