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 {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} /, Claudel-Hobson for the Bugatti.
