Copy to RG. {Mr Rowledge} Copy to DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} C. CARBURETTER. [Handwritten] X8080 [Stamp] ORIGINAL I do not think there is much practical fault in this carburetter as arranged, but quite agree to the slightly smaller high speed throat and larger air valve being tested.
