| To Ry. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X7080. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/AM9.9.31. TWIN CHOKE CARBURETTERS. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} suggested on the telephone call yesterday that the best way to overcome our difficulty with the twin choke carburetter on the P.2. was to raise the diffusers and if necessary, the chokes etc, so raising the effective petrol level which we are able to use. We believe you have all the experimental information on these carburetters and therefore would be obliged if you would try out this suggestion on the drawing board and let us know whether any difficulties arise.
