THOMAS VICE-CHAIRMAN T. C. SKINNER, M.I.A.E. MANAGING DIRECTOR ADDERLEY PARK, BIRMINGHAM, 8. YOUR REF: OUR REF: D.R. Nov. 18th 1940. W.A.Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr.Robotham, Thanks for your letter - so glad to have had a few hours with you. We have put the two 2 1/2" Carburetters and electrical pump in hand, but owing to existing circumstances it is rather difficult to say when we shall be able to complete these. I do not, however, anticipate that there will be much delay. As requested, I am enclosing Blue Print of the hot spot pipe. I am also much obliged to you for making up an air silencer for the 8 h.p. Morris - this will be of great interest. The setting on the 8 h.p. Morris you are running is obviously too weak, and I am enclosing a needle giving a stronger mixture. Will you please fit this and see what results are obtained. I have not the slightest doubt that there will be an improvement. Yours sincerely, CSkinner Enclosure P.S. I find the Blue Print has already been sent to you. | ||
