MYTH.
Engine Oil Fittings.

We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy the original of :-

PL.502 - Type I.M. By-pass oil filter.

The position originally chosen for the oil filter as shown on PL.346, was on the rear end of the induction manifold, but it fouled the dashboard.

On the above scheme, we have shown the I.M. By-pass oil filter fitted to the R.H. side of the Myth engine in the centre on the side of the crankcase, which seems to be the only available position left.
