PHONE. LONDON. CODE: A.B.C. 5TH EDITION ALSO AT LYONS, PARIS, DETROIT, TURIN, BERLIN. TELEPHONE WORDSWORTH 2213 15th May 1940. File Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y Your ref.Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 8/JMc. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 13th instant, reference as above, we expect to receive delivery of the Twin Choke Carburetters in about a fortnight's time. We obtained the necessary Import Licence and cabled this information to the States on the 20th of last month, and as they would probably ship them immediately our cable was received, the carburettors should now be en route and we may expect the advice at any moment. With regard to alternative sizes of twin downdraught carburettors, we have not made a small twin carburetter in this Country. It is for this reason that we have been importing these samples from America. As you are probably aware, we have studied the possibility of using the same main bowl and choke portion of P.T.O. | ||
