| X1487 To R. {Sir Henry Royce} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c.c. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wcr. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E.8/HP.6.9.32. re Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) Carburetter. Please find attached blueprint of Lec.3190 showing the proposed scheme of S.U. carburetter for the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) engine. The pieces shown on this drawing with respect to the float chamber mechanism, air valve and jet parts are all S.U., and we have not attempted to modify the carburetter except in regard to its mounting and the method of dealing with the air supply and air cleaner. The air valve pot, and air cleaner are so arranged as to be easily detachable without disturbing any other part of the installation. A blueprint of this drawing is attached to Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 's copy of this memo for his information. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
