(Elland) Ltd., Motor Engineers, Huddersfield Rd., ELLAND. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 18th. inst. We think it would be very useful if you could supply us with one of your air cleaners for trial purposes. The size of the S.U. carburetter we are using is the H.U.5 and we shall machine the outside of the air intake boss to our diameter of 1.7" so that you can make your air cleaner to suit this. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
