W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y Dear Mr. Robotham, With reference to my letter of yesterday, I have now been able to obtain a drawing of a Twin Vertical Solex Carburetter of 40 mm. diameter, which I send you herewith. I am afraid, however, that this would not take a 36 mm. choke tube and a 32 mm. perhaps would be the maximum. I will let you know as soon as I hear from France, and meanwhile, remain, Yours sincerely, TLT/GD Encl. | ||
