| (2) hot jacket and a special short spray chamber is required without throttle or starter carburetter connection made from the standard Goshawk ll. patterns, but with an alter- ation carried out in the foundry. The float chamber may require a rough pattern making to get the low speed, and high speed jets in the correct relative positions. If so then the filter could be altered so as to clear and be accessible. If a special pattern is not made but the existing one utilised, then a separate filter could be fit- ted nearby the carburetter in the frame. No starter car- buretter will be required on the float chamber as we intend to use as shewn on the drawings the 40/50 pattern. A pet- rol connection will be required for the starter carburetter on the float chamber. Mr. Royce wishes the dynamo starter motor, and starter gear completed on the chassis, and the carburetter has been specially arranged with a view to this being car- ried out.
