| Y1487 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MJ.23.11.31. Will you please arrange to fit the vertical S.U. carburetter to induction pipe V.1207. At present this induction pipe is fitted with the vertical Claudel Hobson carburetter. We want these two carburetters to be interchangeable after modification. The position of the S.U. carburetter should be such that the float chamber is pointing directly away from the cylinder block.
