| (2) The low speed jet gets its fuel supply from the high speed jet and will therefore be subject to the conditions of supply of the latter. The low speed jet will also experience a variation of head due to change of angle but the resultant effect on the mixture is not likely to be important. The joint of the float chamber lid{A. J. Lidsey} has to hold petrol at angles greater than +-14o on the present design. This joint is not very convenient to raise, and as the studs are numerous and well distributed we propose to leave the joint where it is on the assumption that it will be satisfactory under conditions of occasional immersion.
