RE. 20 HP. CARBURETTER.

We are sorry if our memo. E2/M16.7.28., appeared in any way to impute that the LeC.drgs. had not been followed. It was not intended.

LeC.1388 certainly shews the jet above the restricted portion of the choke, but the reduction in choke dia. since made, and the addition of the spraying cone, have accentuated the changes in the cross section of the passage-way local to the jet, and the proposed alteration is intended to smooth this out.
