CARBURETTER. X8080
I do not think there is much practical fault in this carburetter as arranged, but quite agree to the slightly smaller high speed throat and larger air valve being tested. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} will kindly give the instructions, but don't spoil what we have by hoping for the most critical perfection.
R.{Sir Henry Royce} (E)
