| EXTRACT FROM R2/IB29415 of 29th. APRIL, 1915. X.1452. - RE CLAUDEL HOBSON CARBURETTERS. We expect the R.R. carburetter will be a lot of trouble before it is comparable with the Claudel Hobson. We are very pleased to hear that the Claudel Hobson suits this work so well. We are of the opinion that the aero work is not nearly so exacting as car work, and we are very pleased that the carburetter shapes so well.
