| Mis. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}4/MA.26.1.33. PEREGRINE CARBURETTER. Re. larger Peregrine Carburetter throttle body was being produced to enable us to use the J.2 carburetter on Peregrine, we should like the throttle spindle bushes machining flush with the bore and a perfectly round throttle valve fitting as this arrangement gives a better fitting throttle and is a definite aid to starting and slow running. We should like this modification carrying out on all future Peregrine carburetters. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/R.Matthews. | ||
