Can you reply to it. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 6/11/22] 28, GRANGE ROAD, WILLESDEN GREEN, LONDON. N.W. 10. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Platford, Esq., Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. [Stamp: TEST DEPT. 24 OCT 1922 RECEIVED] 20th October 1922. [Handwritten note: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}] [Stamp: NOV 6 1922 RECEIVED] Dear Sir, On approximately the 15th September we believe Mr Van Raalte drew your attention to a Carburettor that we have been supplying for several months in a quiet way. We enclose herewith some literature, which although more associated to the Ford is equally applicable to the Rolls Royce, and no doubt you will glean sufficient from this literature to see if the CarburVac is of any interest to you. Up to the present we have, for reasons of our own, not approached manufacturers but we have sold a number in excess of 1000 to the public direct, these have been chiefly to the Ford as the market was a ready one. The largest size of Carburettor that we have at present has an area through the choke of 1 3/8 bore. We shall be glad to have any criticisms you have to make. We also have a carburettor with Vertical out let which is not shown in illustration the components of which are identical with the horizontal. Yours faithfully, For F.H. ARNOTT Ltd. pp. F.H. Arnott Director. | ||
