| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} (Chateauroux). 600a? or 200c Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/R.25.2.38. The suggestion has been made that if we turn the air silencer round it will improve air carburation difficulties, due to the fixed radiator shutters. We should like you to give us some temperature figures close to the dashboard and at the present air intake position to see if there is anything in the suggestion. We should also like to know if plug gaps have any effect on the problem. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
