Dear Sirs, With further reference to our previous correspondence concerning a suitable induction system for your 20 H.P. six cylinder engine, we are now sending you enclosed herewith a suggested lay-out of induction pipe to accomodate two of our 36 V.I. carburetters. In our opinion, this scheme should give you the best all-round results, as the average distance between the carburetter and the inlet ports is reduced to a minimum. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, THE ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. LTD. L. Prat CHIEF ENGINEER. Encl. LP{Mr Lappin}/IH | ||
