Dear Mr. Salt, Re:- Zenith Carburetter, Type 48 VI-2. Further to my letter of the 6th. inst., we have now heard from Mr. Ratcliffe who informs us of an improvement in performance now that the carburetter has been turned round so that the float chamber is directed towards the front of the engine. We are pleased to hear this and we think that the carburetter is capable of giving all the desired performance, but in order that that end shall be reached it is very necessary that the carburetter should be tuned up on the road. We shall be pleased to hold ourselves at your disposal in this connection and instruct one of our experts to wait upon you at any time which will best suit your convenience. | ||
