| ORIGINAL To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/T5.12.23. RE CARBURETTER. L9080 Attached herewith is a print of the Knave carburetter. We have not used the second extra air valve. We consider for the E.A.C. engine it would require the low speed throat to be approximately the same diameter as we use on the present 40/50, in order to retain the same quality of slow running.
