To Ex. 111B Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/JH.30.12.36. Referring to GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/DPB/22.12.36. we should like to make the following suggestions. (1) That we should increase the diameter of the threaded portion of the lubricator which screws into the pump body to approximately .500". (2) That the length of the lubricator should be increased, so that the hexagon head is proud of the pump volute, thus allowing ample room for a spanner to be used.
