Allan Swinden} Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 9/ML.20.I.41. There was a very interesting article by Mantell in the "Automobile Engineer" of last month, on carburation. I should like you to observe his remarks on valve timing and its effect on flat spots, and also upon the way in which the balance pipe in a 2-carburettor, 6-cylinder induction system, reacts on idling. We will then have a discussion on the subject. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
