For the attention of Mr. Fisher. Dear Sirs, With reference to our last conversation, this is to confirm that you will supply 2 single Wraith carburetters fitted with the electric controlled choke (thick strangler plate) external fast idle device and vacuum ignition control (i.e. DBV throttle body). The separate unit at first requested will not be required as our tests are concerned with the complete carbur-etter. An official order will follow later. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
