CONTINUATION No. 2.

Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

these diaphragms which were going to give trouble should have shown up by now, as they will have had something like nine months use.

It seems to us likely that the particular car concerned has been running on petrol since the diaphragms were fitted, and possibly, owing to fuel shortage, they have recently changed to Benzole.

Yours faithfully,
for THE S. U. CARBURETTER CO. LTD.
