Stromberg Carburetter and Ventilated Dynamo. With reference to the question of fitting a shield to act as a safeguard during carburetter adjustments, we are issuing instructions for a simple attachment to the existing design of dynamo end cover, and one of these will be made up forthwith to be passed for application to existing production. We are at the same time making up a cover with the louvres arranged on each side looking downwards, for future use. This permanent scheme is very simple as the same louvre pressing is used on each side and the gauze is imprisoned by the louvre pressing, and does not require an internal frame.
