Company, East Works, Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park, Birmingham. Dear Mr. Skinner, Many thanks for your letter of the 14th inst. and for the needles which we shall test immediately. We are very glad to hear that you are putting in hand a 2¼" carburetter which will suit our 7½ litre model and shall be very interested to try it. As a matter of interest we should like to know at what figure you would be prepared to supply the 1⅝" throttle dia. model which we are testing on the 25 HP. at the rate of 20 a week. You will appreciate that this figure is only asked for so that we can get a comparable figure to that of existing standard carburetter. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
