X7080 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} } from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KT.10.4.33. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} } SEMI EXPANDING CARBURETTERS. From time to time we have introduced various improvements which have been incorporated on standard production cars. At the samt time we have been making Peregrine and J.III. carburetters but the drawings of these have not been brought up to date, the result being that they suffer from the original faults inherent in the carburetter. Will you please arrange to bring these other carburetters up to date so that we can avoid manufacturing obsolete parts. Attached is a modification to prevent air lock on the carburetter at present on production. This fault has shewn itself in an elusive manner on several production cars, and in every case V.1541 has effected a cure. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} is satisfied that the modification overcomes this troubles. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
