We have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 13th inst., reference as above, together with copy of your Drawing ECD-1387 and our Drawing EX-919 to which latter you have added certain information. We note your remarks regarding the various items, and we shall proceed to prepare the Carburetters along the lines of the Specification submitted in our letter of the 7th inst., together with the amendments suggested by you in your letter of the 13th instant. As regards the last paragraph of your letter, we have no reference here regarding the AAV-16 (STROMBERG No.380042) Carburetter, and we have already written Mr. Fisher asking him if he could help us to identify the particular instrument. In respect of the 1/20 gallon Burette, we have nothing so small as this, but we have had a drawing prepared. The Burette will have to be specially produced, and it might be some little time before delivery can be effected. However, we shall urge it, and let you have it at the earliest possible moment. Yours faithfully, THE ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. LTD. [Signature] Chief Engineer AEP/LT. | ||
