Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KV.5.1.36. Herewith some figures on the Lincoln car which we managed to borrow from the Ford people for a short time. We managed to get particulars of the carburettor, which is almost exactly similar to what we are proposing to fit on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III, the interesting point being that they make no provision for flooding, and furthermore, they have a choke which is locked in the fully closed position. As soon as we get our Cold Chamber we shall do some intensive work on the best arrangement to use for the choke. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
