| To RG.{Mr Rowledge} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BY c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}4/MG26.9.30 Mr. Skinner, of the S.U.Company, has recently produced an electrical fuel pump - details of which you will find on print attached. It feeds the Carburetter by gravity, and only works as the level of the float chamber falls, which means that for the biggest portion of its time it is not working at all - so Mr. Skinner claims. The current consumption is on an average 1/2 amp. per hour, and it has a flow of roughly 10 gallons per hour. I suggest we ask him to send a sample through. Will Rg{Mr Rowledge} kindly pass the particulars in question on to BY and Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, as I have only one set. ROY{Sir Henry Royce} ENCLOSURES.
