E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/ADL2.10.31. x7080. x7090. BALANCED TWIN CARBURETTERS. We send you herewith curve Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}P30 showing the difference in power output of the twin carburetters balanced and unbalanced. The balancing hole was cut in an extension piece immediately over the top face of the carburetter. We anticipate that the difference between the two curves might be increased by about 10% with the 114° long duration camshaft. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
