| COPY. St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Margaret's, July 4th, 1916. To Mr Hives from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RE CLAUDEL-HOBSON CARBURETTER ON BUGATTI. Please find attached a LeC. drawing showing the necessary particulars of the Bugatti for fitting a Claudel-Hobson. Mr Royce instructs me to send this to you as he thinks you will be able to arrange some sort of a rig-up which will work on the car, and yet not require a lot of making or extra parts. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} The above, of course, refers to Mr Royce's memo asking for a 30 m/, Claudel-Hobson for the Bugatti. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 2.2.00 | ||
