1031 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}2/JH. 20th. May, 1939. The S.U. Carburetter Co.Ltd., Adderley Park, BIRMINGHAM.8. Dear Sirs, With reference to the first production H.4. carburetters for the Bentley. We intend to use C. & A.{Mr Adams} washers in place of your usual fibre, as we cannot agree with you that they are free from trouble, because we have had too many instances proving to the contrary. For the first 55 sets ordered however, we will make the change over in our factory. Our buying department will get in touch with regarding future supplies. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
