| THE ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. Limited. Sheet No. 2 W. A. {Mr Adams} Robotham Esq, Derby, 8.2.40 I fully appreciate your wishing to have their latest carburettors with such improvements as have been found by actual experience, and I have written to America to ask them to be sure to give us their latest data, and also if they have in mind any further modifications. I do not think there will be any difficulty in getting a dozen carburettors from the States, and as a rule it takes about 10 weeks from the time the order is posted. Shipping is a little uncertain, but I think you can safely count on receiving them within this period more especially as I would cable to save the delay in the post. Assuring you of my closest co-operation on this matter, I remain, Yours sincerely, TLT/GD. Encls. | ||
