| -2- (12) Again we understand that for USA, and other very cold winter climates we must have good cold distribution - rapid heating by exhaust. Our requirements would not be met by S.U. or Bentley equipment. If we are right then S.U. and Bentley are wrong. To make any progress we must agree to the above or get it corrected. Mr. Lovesey is our best specialist on this work, and one would like his help and views, and let him rig up a car for WW. which you and he think has good carburation. Then I should like to confirm it, but I presume he will be away at Calshot until after the Schneider Trophy Race. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
