Dixon - Fuel Systems}/12 M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} OUR REF: RLK/NK. 20th February 1937. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited. Experimental Dept. D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, Attention of Mr. Dixon. We are in receipt of your letter of the 19th inst. If only this GACO material will remain stuck to the cloth, we think it is very promising. We are running some of this without cloth impregnation on test, and its only fault of course, is that it swells in diameter. We have been waiting for these people to supply us with some of this coated cloth for some months now. We will hold any faulty G5 pumps for you as returned, and we are sending you the diaphragms under separate cover. Yours faithfully, For THE S.U. CARBURETTER CO.LTD. | ||
