| X.3188. COPY Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from EFC. X.3188 - To obtain 4 improved Claudel Hobson Carburetters. R6/W25917. H.M.Hobson Ltd. have undertaken to supply us with a set of these carburetters for experiment on one of our "Eagle" engines, but point out that inasmuch as these are dual carburetters only two (not four) will be required. Order has been sent to Hobsons to-day and carburetters will be invoiced to us, but full credit will be given subsequently if they are returned in perfect condition.
