Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Thanks for yours enclosing charts, but I am afraid you have set us a bit of a problem as the temperatures are not very high. However, I will see what can be done. As regards the two carburetters on order for you, we hope to complete these some time this week. It is the damped type of piston which is causing the trouble, as these were completed and found to be much too heavy, so that we are having to make up two more much lighter. You have doubtless received the drawing of the hot air pipe by now. Kind regards. Yours sincerely, T.C. Skinner ENGINEERING & ALLIED EMPLOYERS' NATIONAL FEDERATION | ||
