| Expl: Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG. 12th. Feb. 1927. Messrs. H.M.Hobson Ltd., 29-31 Vauxhall Bridge Rd., London S.W.1. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of the 11th.inst. We have not completed our tests on the carburetter air intakes but hope to do so early next week. We require a telegage unit for a 20 HP. car which is going to France in a weeks time. We send you herewith a calibration of the tank. We should be obliged if you could let us have a face of exactly the same dimensions as that produced for the 40/50 HP. only with a scale arranged for the smaller tank. With reference to the 40/50 HP. This car has been delayed longer than anticipated. In order to save time, we could calibrate the tank on this car in the same way as the one we are sending you and if this is sufficient, you could let us have the complete unit which we can fit to the tank. We thank you for the prompt despatch of the 2 barrel type carburetters, and we will let you have some information on their performance as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, | ||
