| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}C. E.By.Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} 20/25 HP Carburetter Flooding. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW.8.6.35 this report is very interesting and brings home the importance of our having as quickly as possible the filter which is being designed to be located on the carburetter side of the flexible pipe. I should be glad to know how soon I can have one for my car and also how soon we can introduce them on production and send supplies to depots for fitting to all chassis which have this flexible pipe. I gather that flexible pipes go with rubber engine mounting but on this point I am not sure. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
