| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X1487 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8/KW.9.7.35. E/Psn. asked us for the dimensions of the large carburetter which we have fitted to the large bore Bentley. As we pointed out to you, we are not proposing to use these on the unit opened out for the existing stud centres, but when the engine is designed so that it can stand more top power, they will obviously be needed. Herewith the prints that we have. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Att: 5 prints received from S.U. Company with letter dated 8.7.35. | ||
