| X1487 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}9/MA. January 29th 1932. The S.U. Company, East Works, Bordesley Green Rd. Adderley Park, Birmingham. For the attention of Mr. Skinner. Dear Sir, We propose bringing down to you on Monday next one of our 20/25 HP cars fitted with an S.U. carburetter; we should be much obliged if you can arrange to have this car tried out and fitted with a suitable needle, in the same manner as you have been doing on the P.II twin S.U. job. We know that the needle at present fitted in this small carburetter is unsuitable to the engine. Primarily we are interested in slow running and should be obliged if you will give this item particular attention. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
