Re: Starting Carburetter.
------------------------

In order to warn customers when the starting carburetter has inadvertently been left on, it is proposed that we couple up the starting carburetter controls to a pair of contacts which will light up the red lamp and keep it on all the time the starter carburetter is in operation.

I want Mr. Davis to arrange a scheme to carry this into effect.
