| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}S/BT.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer}10.1.41. - 2 - your letter dated 4th May last year, reference TLT/GD. We assume that this would include provision for internal fast idle etc. Will you please put this part of the job in hand, so that 30 mm. throttle bodies can be sup-plied to be interchangeable with the standard 36 mm. body. We would like these bodies to go ahead in parallel with the preparation of the special carburetters. We would like you to confirm that you can work to these instructions, as we do not wish to part with any of our existing carburetters. Yours faithfully, | ||
