| To H.F. Hamilton, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. x300a 9/ Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}19/KW.26.6.36. In case you have difficulty in ascertaining what the petrol flow is through the needle valve of the carburetter, we find that the correct supply taken from the mouth of the pipe to the carburetter should be 220 pts. per hour. If it is less than this we expect starvation at high speeds. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
