| X7080. To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}11/KT.10.6.32. RESONANCE SILENCE P.II. R.R. SEMI EXPANDING CARBURETTER. We hand you herewith LeC.3100. On this we have marked the dimensions which matter, the rest can be scissed from the scheme. We suggest that as the scheme is temporary, the intake to the carburetter can be built up of sheet metal and the central support ring turned separately and clipped to the induction pipe. As, from tests on J.I, we think that the capacities on the LeC. are too small, we hand you Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}645 which shews larger chambers utilising the same intake, central ring, and gauze holder as LeC.3100. Will you please make the additional chambers at the same time. We are anxious to clean this job up, as it is the last item to enable the Semi Expanding carb. to go into production.
