| 103J Experimental Department 16th November 1936. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}14/AP. The Zenith Carburetter Co.Ltd., Honeypot Lane, Stanmore, MIDDLESEX. Dear Sirs, In reply to yours of the 13th inst., we have looked over the drawings you sent us, and it appears that the 48 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} horizontal carburetter 48 HAZ. would suit us better than any of the others. There are one or two points we should like checked up viz:- 1. Can the float chamber be put on either side.? 2. Is it possible to move the throttle control from the top to the bottom.? If these points are O.K., as appears to be the case from the drawing, then we should be glad if you would quote us for two instruments, with one set of chokes, from 30 m/m to the maximum possible, and one set of jets, compensating and main. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
