Scheme for preventing the starting carburetter lever from moving into the "RICH" position. Report of Experimental Test. Scheme consists of a locking device in the "RUNNING" position by means of two V notches in the lever engaging with two diametrically opposed slots in the hub, and held in position by a spring. Fitted to 22-EX and found to be satisfactory. This scheme does not cancel recent modification to controls, to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1290 - both schemes should be used. Weight of Old Part. Cost of Old Part. £ - 1 - 3. Weight of New Part. Cost of New Part. £ - 1 - 11. Difference per Car. Difference per Car £ - - 8. Increase. Signature from Cost Dept. that above is correct. G/Rb.{R.
