Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} P. 2. TWIN CARBURETTERS. 1931 SEP The trouble at the moment is that in altering the float to complete circles (i.e. non-cut away) they are not light enough to give correct petrol level and stroke. We have instructed alterations that the cross shaft shall act as balance weight, and minor improvements to needle, etc. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
