Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in informing you that the 46 m/m Governor carburettor is being despatched to you. As we do not know for what engine this is required, we have put in the same jet setting as on the 46 m/m downdraught carburettor sent you previously, but have increased the size of the main jet because you called for larger jets for further tests. We shall be glad to hear of your views on this Governor type carburettor, and any adjustments on the governor itself for given R.P.M. could be arranged by our Mr. Peach who will be testing at your Works next week. We shall be glad to give you every possible assistance to demonstrate the capabilities of this instrument, and thanking you, Yours faithfully, For SOLEX LTD. H.C.Mills. CUSTOMER'S CARS ARE ONLY DRIVEN BY OUR STAFF AT OWNERS' RISK. | ||
