| X1487 Exptl. Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}1/KW. 26th August, 1935. The S.U. Company Ltd., East Works, Adderley Park, Birmingham 8. For the attention of Mr. Cooper. Dear Sirs, Float Chamber Needles & Seatings. With regard to the 1 3/4" carbs. which we have fitted to E.R. Hall's car, we are not satisfied with the finish of the radius on the needles, this being very rough and likely to cause jambing on the operating forks. Will you therefore please let us have two more needles and seatings, with the needle ends polished. When these are fitted we will return the defective ones. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
