| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swd1.11/JH.9.4.36. We are asking the production people to convert their carburetters to the underneath direct feed so that they will have no trouble due to starving. In conjunction with this we have also asked them to bull-nose the existing needles. Perhaps you will supply them with needles produced to our specification and suitable for .179 dia. seat.
