| THE ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. Limited. Sheet No. 2 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd, Derby. 5.2.40. ...from France, and I have asked for drawings. As regards Zenith, we have never made a twin updraught in this Country, but the French House have done so, this being the 42 D.U.P as per drawing No.06106 enclosed. I happen to have one of these carburetters in stock and it will just about take a 36 choke tube, but this is right on the limit. I do not think they make a 48 mm. twin carburetter, but have written to them to-day to ask if such a Model exists. If you would like me to send on the 42 D.U.P we have in stock I shall be very pleased to do this, and I will let you know immediately I hear from France. Trusting you are keeping well, I remain, Yours sincerely, TLT/GD Encl. | ||
