Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 14/H13.3.22. Re. CARBURATION on 40/50 CARS. X1487 X2768 In view of the trouble we are having with the carburation at low speeds full throttle on 40/50 cars, and also the varying complaints of unsatisfactory horse power under these conditions, could you not, in view of the success you have achieved on the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) with the S.U. Carburetter, also try a similar Carburetter on the 40/50 chassis? This is a point I feel you might bring up for consideration during your coming interview with R. {Sir Henry Royce} EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} [STAMP] TEST DEPT. [STAMP] 14 MAR. 22 [STAMP] EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} [STAMP] RECEIVED | ||
