X.7460 By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lov.{Mr Lovesey} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. Rg.{Mr Rowledge} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lovl/AM 7.4.31. PHANTOM II PETROL PUMP. R.{Sir Henry Royce} has agreed to us using the A.C. petrol pump as a temporary measure for experiment in order to get the twin choke carburetter going for test. We have an A.C. petrol pump and what we now require is the necessary operation for it. We should be glad if you could give us a scheme so that we can operate this pump in a similar way to which we operate the R.R. petrol pump, that is, mounted on the front portion of the crankcase. The maximum stroke we should cater for is 1/4". Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lov.{Mr Lovesey} | ||
