| 1036? To By/NS.{Norman Scott} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}8/JH.18.7.39. Carburetter Specifications. With reference to your memo. By/CS.3/B.15.7.39. ? The drawings EB.5081 - 2 were required for the purpose of sending to the S.U. Co. as a working specification. You will agree that as such drawings are wrong, they are dangerous, and it would be better to have no specification drawings at all. We wish to point this fact out to you, as the object of having the drawings made has been defeated because they obviously could not be sent to S.U.'s. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C.
