BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X5230. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M13.2.32. X.5230 C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. EXHAUST SYSTEM. Herewith we send N.scheme 3431. - Front Expansion Chamber. It will be seen that we have made the simplest shape possible without baffles or other complications, but it may be desired to try a baffle during the course of the experiments. It will be noticed that we are asking for a slight modification to the centralised chassis lubrication to the front axle. The general arrange-ment will follow. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
