| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X208 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/KW.22.6.34. Mixture Controls - Bentley. It is very rarely that both jets return to the full weak position on Bentley carburetters owing to slack in the pins etc. Bad slow running results. Will you therefore please make a pair of spring loaded controls to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1433 to overcome this trouble. These are very like those you schemed for us on 27-EX some time ago.
