| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 8080 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG16.3.25. RE. EAC. CARBURETTER. Re. memos. BY/SS{S. Smith}6/DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}6.2.25 and BY/SS{S. Smith}3/DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}28.2.25. We see that the following information is required :- WASHERS FOR EAC. CARBURETTER. The only washers which it should be necessary to disturb for cleaning purposes after the carburetter has been built are :- Filter E.70394/5 - and Jet plug washers E.70399. We recommend that these should be made of soft red fibre. HIGH SPEED VALVE AND VALVE ROD. We have found that the valve taper and pitch of actuating thread are quite satisfactory and permit sufficient richening and weakening of the mixture. Therefore no alteration from drawings :- E.71732 and E.71733 should be necessary. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/ACL. | ||
