BENSPORT CARBURATION. The first Bensport will be running about by the end of the month. We shall have no carburetters for it unless we let Mr. Skinner of the S.U. Company have 19-G4. with the least possible delay. The only modifications required on this car before we send it to Birmingham are :- (1) New induction pipe. (2) Standard front expansion box, in exhaust system. (3) The automatic mixture control fitted to the cylinder block. We hand you herewith a print shewing the scheme for the third item in the list. We shall be very glad if you will do your best to clean this car up, which will at least wipe one job off the slate. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
