Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Davey. We are considering experimentally fitting 2 vertical carburetters to our 7 1/2 litre car engine. We do not know whether you have a type of carburetter which would be suitable for the purpose, but should be obliged if you could let us have information as to the models you at present supply which might be adapted for our purpose. Should your Mr. Davey be thinking of visiting Derby in connection with the Petrol Gauge or Aero Carburetters, we could explain to him exactly what we are after. Yours faithfully, | ||
