Lp.{Mr Lappin} From HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/MA.6.7.32.

Herewith the reply I have had from Mr. Skinner.
You will note what he says about tuning your carburetter up.

I think the best thing for you to do is to fix up directly with him. I send you the needle herewith without much hope of its bein-g successful.
I think you will want a different piston.
