| RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/NL. H.C.Prins, Esq., de Havilland Engine Co.Ltd., Stag Lane, Edgware, Middx. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of August 2nd. We shall be only too pleased to fit you up with what you require, if you will supply the engine. We regret that the only way we can carry out the conversion in the Gipsy VI aero engine is to manufacture a special downdraught carburettor, and drill the induction manifold. Our quotation to supply this carburettor would be cost of labour and material, plus 33 1/3% for on-costs. We should be prepared to send the carburettor on when it is completed. Yours faithfully, | ||
