FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. With reference to the complaint re. faulty exhaust manifolds, as brought to our attention by Messrs. Vickers and others, we now learn from our Inspector stationed at Calshot that they have had several exhaust manifolds burst open, which have all given way at the seam. We shall be glad to know if anything is being done in connection with this, as I should like if possible to circularise our outside Inspectors so that they can deal with any complaints of this nature which are brought to their notice.
