RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" CARBURETTOR.

We send you herewith drawing No.LeC.M55 shewing a revision of the "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" carburettor on all the points asked for.

We should like to draw Mr. Hives'attention to the modifications made in the pilot jet. The main jets have been raised with relation to the petrol level so that the carburettor will not flood when the car is standing on a hill of 1 in 5 gradient.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
