Our Ref. TCS/DR East Works, Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park—Birmingham. Sept. 14/31. W.A.Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I thank you for your letter of the 11th inst. and I am sending you on a needle giving a slightly stronger mixture on pick up than the W.O.2 for the standard carburetter, which should put this matter right. I am also sending you a couple of needles for the carburetter with the light piston, although of course it is impossible for me to say whether these will be satisfactory. As regards your P.S., I am putting in hand a 2 1/4" carburetter which should suit your 7 1/2 litre model, but I am afraid it will be a fortnight or so before I can despatch same. Kind regards. Yours sincerely, T C Skinner ENGINEERING AND ALLIED EMPLOYERS NATIONAL FEDERATION | ||
