| To By.. from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 26/N.8.12.38. Re: S.U. Carburetters. I am enclosing a composition washer taken out of a new car 'MR' series, which was condemned years ago by K. {Mr Kilner} for the same trouble as this one has caused i.e. sticking of the mixture control and leaking. The cork washers fitted prior to 'MR' series, one of which I am enclosing, have given very little trouble, insufficient to warrant any change. Why it has been changed I am not in a position to say, but it is a retrograde step GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
