20/25HP Carburetter.
Floatchamber Balance Lec.4292.

We should like to see this modification brought on to Production as soon as possible.

With regard to retrospective action, we think it would meet the position for carburetters to be modified in cases of complaint only, particularly with regard to excessive petrol consumption.
