-4- "Replying London No. 1 - We agree vaporiser, louvres and latest type pilot jet with moving choke. Experiments vaporiser show such good results in overcoming loading, dilution and carbon formation that we do not consider exhaust heated throttle necessary for immediate adoption. Understand development exhaust heated throttle still in experimental stage at Derby, we have no drawings or models that and have not tested under American conditions." (Signed) Maurice Olley.
