| K513a G.W.Hancock, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. From Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KT.5.12.33. Thank you for your reports. I am sending you herewith, two needles for your carburetters. These have been arranged sonthat they give more adjustment on the weak side for slow running. At the present we have no margin for giving weaker than normal slow running. These needles are also supposed to improve the acceleration slightly. We should like your opinion on them and also a figure for the petrol consumption. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
