40/50 HP. O.2 Series - Semi Expanding Carburetter
Throttle Edge Slow Running.

In the continental type chassis in the first 50 of O.2 series, will you please instruct the Stromberg Type of slow running device as shown on LeC.2972.

We should like the Works to "go slow" with the final machining of the throttle body and adjusting plug for the R.R.type as detailed from LeC.3132.

The Experimental Test are still working on the R.R.type, and will give us a definite instruction before the above carburetters have been completed.
