| ORIGINAL TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} SECRET. E1/M17.7.24. Copy to - CJ / HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. 2. CARBURETTER. X8080 X We send you herewith drawings Nos. 1898. and 1899., shewing lightweight air valves in brass and aluminium respectively. At the same time it is proposed that a smaller low speed throat should be tried in combination with these valves, to increase the depression in the mixture chamber in the initial stages. We should be glad if you would instruct and test these designs experimentally. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
