| To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to EH. c. to RJ. ORIGINAL D 3 St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Margaret's Bay. 1917 Sept. 26th. 1917. RECEIVED X.3188 Re - Claudel Hobson Carburetter. R6/W25917. With reference to the Claudel Hobson people and their carburetter, they ought to send us four for Mr. Hives to try on an engine. I do not think, however, there is very much in their improvements of importance which we have not already adopted when we designed the R.R.C.H. carburetter, and unless Mr. Hives reports to the contrary it would not justify the want of uniformity, [handwritten insertion: caused by] making the change.
