PORTLAND STREET TELEPHONE: FITZROY 1014 TELEGRAMS: ENOTSTONE, WESDO, LONDON Dear Sirs, "Enots" Petrol Filters. We beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 7th inst., regarding petrol starvation at high speeds. We have noted carefully your remarks and the layout of tube etc., you have used in your test, but at the moment we have not tested one of the filters on an identical layout. What we have done is to test one of the present filters with the layout we are flowing all the filters on, and have also tested the original model we have kept by us and the two flows are identical. It seems to the writer that we must have made some mistake on one of the batches sent you and we think the best thing to do would be to return to us the filter you have been testing to see if there is anything wrong with any of our drillings etc., After we have examined this we will write you further. Yours faithfully, BENTON & STONE LTD., [Signature] Director. | ||
