| 45D80 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to MX.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}5/KW.4.2.35. 20/25 HP. Carburetter. With further reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}27/KW.29.1.35. We wish to withdraw the suggested modification Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1725 to the air valve, for the following reasons. Firstly, this second hesitation mentioned in the above previous report has not been fully justified on production carburetters, and if necessary the alteration can be applied later. Secondly, this modification would further complicate the application of LEC.4292 to existing customers' cars. This modification was not included on the Standardisation Sheet recently circulated for LeC.4292. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.T.Salt. | ||
