Re: Seignol. Carburettor:

With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/AD.

I.IO.29, I note that owing to the unsurmountable obstacles found in the design of Seignol's carburettor you do not consider it an interesting proposition, and I have therefore advised this gentleman accordingly.
