| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} RG.{Mr Rowledge} CAR CARBURETTERS. ORIGINAL R2/M4.12.29. 8 7080. x 5080. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is very busy getting out a first drawing of the carburetter in accordance with our recent patent, namely, expanding from a minimum fixed throat carburetter. We think this idea promises well, and may give us what we are requiring at the moment, namely, increased MEP. at higher speeds, with metering and distribution equal to the present standard carburetter.
