| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7 JUL 1926 REC'D X.8070 BY/SS.{S. Smith} (E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Dept.) c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. BY/SS.{S. Smith} c. Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/Ms. BY15/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 6.7.26. 40/50 HP. CHASSIS. C.2.SERIES. INDUCTION PIPE & CARBURETTER. The Experimental Dept. have decided that the aluminium induction system and carburetter which they are testing out is a distinct improvement, and in such a state as to be safely applied to C.2. Series. This being the case, we wish to hold up instructions on these sections, particularly as they do not represent material which is required early on. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} informs me that there are one or two places in the carburetter where bushes would be an improvement. Will BY/SS.{S. Smith} look into this, and convey the necessary information to E.Dept. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
