Salt, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. file carburettors Zenith Dear Mr. Salt, Further to our conversation the other day concerning specifications for the dual carburetter, we have been investigating this at the works and we consider that one essential point is that you should let us know the part number of the main body with 1-1/32" venturis which have given success on road test. To the best of my knowledge you took the main body with 1-1/32" venturi with piston fast idle from a complete carburetter bearing a 26 m/m throttle body. This main body you fitted with a Cadillac AAV25 1938 36 m/m throttle body. Now, on looking through the Stromberg Parts Catalogue No.10C. we cannot find any 26 m/m throttle body carburetter with piston fast idle. Possibly I am not quite up-to-date with the latest changes you have made, but I think it would be a good thing if you sent us a complete specification of the carburetter you require, together with part numbers of Main Body, Throttle Body and Air Horn Member. With kind regards, I am, Yours truly, Chas. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Fisher. ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. LTD. CHF/GC | ||
