| E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} x 9790 c. to By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 2/KT.21.3.33. SEMI-EXPANDING CARBURETTER - Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Swdl. {Len H. Swindell} 10/KT.20.3.33. Before we go into production, we think that the large air valve carburetter could with advantage be modified as indicated in the attached report. It would be a pity to adopt it on Production until we have done the "best we know". We believe a larger induction pipe is needed now that we have opened up the carburetter and are making tests. If you could urge the job, we could get the carb. out to the large bore Phantom before it completes 10,000 miles. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} | ||
