Cox - Advertising Manager} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}1/JH.2.2.38. re PHANTOM III CARBURETTORS. We have had great difficulty with the Zenith Carburettor Co., in trying to find a suitable material with which to make taper washers. We are now making these ourselves in Aluminium, and Zenith are supplying us with thin jointing washers to make a complete seal. These parts we anticipate will be ready in the cause of the next few days, and we will let you know immediately they are to hand. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
