New Type Phantom ll Carburetters.
Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E20.7.32.

You will remeber that it has been pointed out that the carburetters on Phantom ll are not large enough to obtain maximum power.

The recent tests on Brooklands confirm this (a report will be sent out during the next few days).

The larger carburetter has now been detailed and we think it would be as well to wait for this before we fit it to either 58-GN. or LHS{Lord Herbert Scott}'s car.
