Mr. Royce is anxious for us to test two Claudel,Hobson carburetters on the Mercedes engine. I have obtained two carburetters and a size which they consider suitable for this work, and shall be glad if you will kindly have them tested on the Mercedes engine at the earliest possible moment. He also wishes us to test them on our own 200 HP engine, but of course we cannot do this for some time. We can however give him comparative figures for the Mercedes carburetter, our own carburetter, and the Claudel Hobson carburetter, on the Mercedes engine.
