| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Shn. X4228 BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Shn/DB. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 7.3.22. RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" - CARBURETTER. With further reference to the instructions issued for raising the petrol level .375, as shown on drawing E.51614, could you please arrange to have a float weighted so that the same level may be obtained without using these adapters. We could then instruct a thickness of float to give this weight, for use with existing standard carburetter parts. We propose instructing the carburetter for production, with 1.375 dia: throttle, and holding up the float until we can give the correct weight. Sels BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Shn. | ||
