V147 BWG{J. C. Bowring} Jul Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} - from Sft.{Mr Swift} C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sft.{Mr Swift}5/MW.19.7.34. Re. S.U. Carburetters. Please note these Carburetters are being delivered to us with the new banjo connections on the float chamber cover not filed and trimmed up ready for plating. This necessitates us doing this job at our expense, and we consider the flashes should be removed by the makers. In addition we would rather have these banjos delivered to us in larger quantities, in order that we can have them made up to the drain pipes, and not as we have to do now, strip down each small quantity of Carburetters that we receive.
