| TO E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} (HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} struck out) FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} SECRET. Copy to CJ. Copy to BJ. 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. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} will kindly give the instructions, but don't spoil what we have by hoping for the most critical perfection. R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Handwritten initial 'R'] | ||
