Rushton. Dear Sirs, We wish to carry out some tests on a vacuumatic type of distributor, and notice in your catalogue one in which the vacuum unit is built into the tower. Can you supply one of these, of dimensions suitable for fitting to a Wraith engine? If this can't be done we would like you to supply one of your separate vacuum units suitable for mounting on the existing Wraith distributor. We shall be pleased to receive any information on the above. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
