Messrs Rolls-Royce Ld., 14, 15, Conduit Street, Dear Sirs, We think that the following recent successes in which the Zenith Carburetter has played an important part might be interesting to you. 1. On the Road. The Bugatti car which won the International Cup for Voiturettes in the Circuit de la{L. A. Archer} Sarthe was fitted with a Zenith Carburetter, as was the Major Cyclecar that won the Grand Prix des Cyclecars. 2. On the Sea. The Racing Motor-boat Miss America that won the British International Trophy, was fitted with Smith-Zenith Carburetters. 3. In the Air. The Nieuport machine which secured the Gordon Bennett Cup, and also a number of Worlds records was also fitted with Zeniths. Therefore you will see that the Zenith still holds the premier place in the Carburetter World. We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, THE ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. LTD. J.L.J. P.S. At the B.A.R.C. Meeting at Brooklands last Saturday the Zenith score was 5 firsts, 4 seconds, and 3 thirds. | ||
