To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KT.13.6.33.

We have discovered that production carburetters are liable to serious flooding. This can be overcome by lowering the level and fitting a lighter float.

To complete our tests we urgently require the following floats assembled to E.83420.

2 sets with 27 S.W.G. (.0164) floats.
2 sets with 26 S.W.G. (.018) floats.
