1036 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden}8/JH. 22nd. June, 1938. The Zenith Carburetter Co.Ltd., Honeypot Lane, Stanmore, MIDDLESEX. For the attention of Mr. A.E. Palmer. Your reference AEP/KD. Dear Sirs, We are very grateful to you for the additional blue prints and information on the flooding of carburetters which you have forwarded to us. There is a reference in your letter to a table showing air flows in lbs/minute for given orifices under a given set of conditions, and also to a schedule of connections for temperatures, varometric height and pressure drop across the orifice. These do not appear to have been enclosed with the remainder of the communication, and we wonder whether you are aware of this. We do truly appreciate your help in this matter and thank you for your willing assistance. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
