Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Bowering, I am putting half a dozen float chambers through. These will be some little time, as we have to make alterations to the pattern. I am also getting a die made for the toggle mechanism, as this will make a much more satisfactory job than chopping them out of practically a solid lump of metal by hand.
