Dear Mr. Skinner, Thank you for your letter of March 10th. We are very pleased with the sample carburetter you have sent along, and appreciate what you say about the stainless steel spindles. We are going right ahead testing the starting carburetter seriously, and will let you know what results we get. With regard to the brass spindles, I wonder whether you could lay your hands on a sample carburetter that has been in service two or three years, so that we can look at the condition of the brass spindle. Should you consider that we would find it satisfactory for our type of automobile? Are you coming up for Taub's paper on Monday ? if so, I should be more than delighted to put you up for the night. Yours sincerely, | ||
