| ORIGINAL FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} P. 2. PETROL PUMP OPERATING MECHANISM. E2/M19.5.31. 87460. We send you herewith LeC. 2909. shewing the above. This matches up with the design for the petrol pump itself posted to you on Sat. last. In connection with this latter scheme we would point out that for the existing engine it is necessary to use an hexagonally shaped pumping diaphragm, but that for future work a cast pocket can be formed as indicated in the front cylinder block to enable the standard A-C. diaphragm to be used.
