| X1487. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.5/MA January 27th 1932. The S.U. Carburetter Co, East Works Bordesley Green Rd., Adderley Park Birmingham. For the attention of Mr. Skinner. Dear Sir, With the latest needles we can still get no signs of too weak a mixture. We should be therefore grateful if you would supply us with some still weaker needles. We should like the measurements of the new needles for the sake of our records. We are having air silencers fitted to the new carburetters, but are carefully avoiding any restriction in the mouth of the carburetter. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
