We should be glad to know whether you have received the four latest type carburetters from the Claudel-Hobson Company so that you can test them on existing "Eagle(Aero Engine)" or "Falcon(Aero Engine)" engines. Regarding the "Falcon(Aero Engine)" would you like to try one of these for a long duration test having the balance weights removed. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
