| (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}7/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 3rd June, 1938. Messrs. S. Smith & Sons, (Motor Accessories) Ltd., Cricklewood Works, N.W.2. Your Ref: S.10. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of May 27th concerning particulars of your automatic jet control for the S.U. Carburetter. We wish to try your instrument in operation with two normal S.U. Carburetters (horizontal). We mention this fact because we realise that your Thermostat will have twice the amount of work to do. Bearing this in mind we would like you to supply one of your latest instruments which you consider most suited to the job. Also, we will be very interested to hear your comments, and any further advice re the set up of controls, etc. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
