Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y Attention: W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MH{M. Huckerby} Dear Mr. Robotham, I have opened your letter of the 1st instant, reference as above, addressed to Mr. Fisher, in order to save time sending this on to him in Birmingham, where he is at the moment. Amongst the Stromberg range I can find only one twin updraught carburetter, which is known as the U.U.3. Unfortunately, I have no drawings of this, or a bulletin, and the nearest I have is a description of the U.U.2., which is a 36 mm. carburetter. We have none of these carburetters in stock, but of course I could get one from America if needs be. Messrs. Solex have no 40 mm. updraught twin in this Country, but could get one from P.T.O. | ||
