| Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}3/MH.{M. Huckerby} 7th. October 1938. The S.U.Carburetter Co. Ltd., Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park, BIRMINGHAM, 8. 1487. For the attention of Mr.Cooper. Dear Sirs, Further to our conversation of 5th. Oct. in your office. This is to confirm that you will supply as much information as possible concerning the variables of your thermostatic starting carburetter. Also, we would like you to supply the necessary pieces with which to adjust these variables. If you will let me have particulars of what pieces you propose to send, we can then cover them with an official order. Regarding needles. Enclosed are suggested dimensions of a needle which I think will suit our requirements in connection with cold get-away under severe conditions. Also please note I have tried to keep this needle a reasonable shape. Will you please supply six needles thus, and confirm that they are O.K. for shape, giving them a suitable index number. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 89 84 79 77 75 73.5 72 70.5 69 67.5 66 64.5 | ||
