| Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hg. M080 BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Cgh. {W Clough} 10/G.7.11.33. PHANTOM 11. CHASSIS - CARBURETTERS. With reference to the slow running device used on present production Phantom 11. chassis carburetters, which infringes the Stromberg patent, the Works are producing these in small batches with a view to introducing our own scheme as soon as possible. We are now asked to release a further batch, and would like to know how soon you expect to be in a position to standardise our own scheme which was instructed experimentally some time ago. [Handwritten note] R.H.E. Swell has been waiting for the new adjustment for some time. Could we get the parts to clear production? BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Cgh. {W Clough} | ||
