| .TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to DJ. RG.{Mr Rowledge} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RR.F.10. CARBURETTER. X3933 E1/M25.4.27. We have in hand an alteration for discarding the diabolo portion of the double float, and clearing away the float chamber so that there is a large airway between the entrances to the chokes. Connection will of course have to be established for the petrol across this passage, but we feel nevertheless that the air feed to each choke tube separately should thereby be greatly improved. Particulars will be sent in the course of the next post or two. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} [Stamped] ORIGINAL [Stamped] RECEIVED Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 26 APR 1927 | ||
