American Standardisation Sheet No. 73. Pilot Jet. We attach herewith American Standardisation Sheet for the above, together with Drawings A8409/10. Will you please let us have your opinion as to whether a 10,000 miles test is necessary. I consider that our experience shows the necessity of this scheme, and if it is approved, I suggest it should be standardised for Derby also. EP.{G.
