| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden} Instruction to Shop 1373 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/ML.20.I.4I. There was a very interesting article by Mantell in the "Automobile Engineer" of last month, on carburation. I should like you to observe his remarks on valve timing and its effect on flat spots, and also upon the way in which the balance pipe in a 2-carburettor, 6-cylinder induction system, reacts on idling. We will then have a discussion on the subject. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
