Dear Sirs, We should be pleased to know when the 3 duplex Stromberg carburettors, which were ordered some time ago, will be delivered, as we are definitely held up until they arrive. During a meeting at the Works Mr. Fisher mentioned that 6 of these carburettors were now in England. Our Design Dept. already have one of these carburettors which incorporates the 1.5/16" dia. chokes in the castings, and are the type that we require. Hitherto the EE3 carburettors which we have had have been modified and detachable 1.5/16" dia. chokes fitted. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
