To: Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/OTS. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/F.Hallam. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}4/RH.{R. Hollingworth}2.7.41. 408 B.V. Carburation. After our discussion on Tuesday, it was agreed that our next tests on B.V. carburation should be as follows :- 1. B.II system on a B.V. to reproduce weakness apparent on B.60. 2. B.V. carbs, with B.II jets and needles and B.II air silencer. 3. Small bore induction pipe with No.2. set up. 4. If above are not satisfactory, fit B.II system complete and try LB.2 needles.
