| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/KT.13.6.33. We have discovered that production carburetters are liable to serious flooding. This can be overcome by lowering the level and fitting a lighter float. To complete our tests we urgently require the following floats assembled to E.83420. 2 sets with 27 S.W.G. (.0164) floats. 2 sets with 26 S.W.G. (.018) floats.
