NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I VERTICAL EXPANDING CARBURETTER.

We are anxious to get another of the new PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I carburetters in hand for test work. Would you please build up another carburetter to LeC.2972 incorporating all modifications shewn on LeC.2997 and 2999.

On the carburetter body please do not drill the cross hole which forms the air passage from the dash pot to the two holes in the small choke and delete the vertical air pipe leading to the dash pot.

Please hold back the air piston and the small choke. A drawing will be issued by E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} shewing new dimensions for these parts.

Ha/A.C.Lovesey.
