| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +1049 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.14/KW.3.6.35. 20/25 Four Port Induction System - Buick Heat Control for same. As a result of tests which have been carried out, it is found that the induction pipe to EX.18316 is a promising one. However, more heat is required on the hot spot. We send you herewith a scheme (Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2015) showing how we should like to use the Buick hot spot heat control body (which we send herewith) to achieve this purpose. Will you please detail and construct the necessary new induction pipe and exhaust manifold. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
