| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EH. c.c. to CJ. X.3511. CARBURETTERS. Sometime ago I sent to you a suggestion for a Carburetter, I have since then give much thought to this carburetter and I consider the idea has possibilities. The scheme of the floating emulsion tube to form the air valve is, I consider, novel and could be patented in the Firms interest even if there is no thought of using it. Do you agree ? I do not wish you to think I am thrusting my own ideas forward. The reason I raise this point is because the idea is the property of the Company and it might be thought I was not doing my job continuously if I simply let it slide. EH. | ||
