| 1033 Experimental Dept. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 7/MH. {M. Huckerby} 27th. January, 1939. The Zenith Carburetter Co. Ltd., Honeypot Lane, Stanmore, MIDDX. For the attention of Mr. A.E.Palmer. Dear Mr. Palmer, With further reference to the A.A.25 carburettors mentioned in your letter of 19th. January, Mr. Fisher took with him on his last visit here, the label giving the setting of one of the carburettors in our possession. The needle seating is far too small for our requirements, and we have had to drill out the existing in order to get sufficient feed to the carburetter. We would therefore like a larger needle seating, with needle to suit. For the remainder of the variables we would like a few of anything you can supply, to cover both sides of the setting mentioned above. Also, will you please send a complete list of all parts you are supplying so that we may send you a covering order when the time comes. Hoping you are keeping fit, Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
