Dear Mr.Fisher, We wish to obtain a fresh stock of the necessary parts for adjusting the 'setting' of the D.A. carb. throughout the speed range. These are required in connection with our fuel economy research. I would be very much obliged if you would compile a list of what you will know to be a fairly comprehensive range of jets, main discharge tubes, bleeds etc. both sides of what we at present call our standard setting on the 25/30. car, and have same despatched for my attention. Also will you sent me a list of just what is supplied so that we can forward an official order, covering all the correct piece numbers. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
