re Semi-Expanding Carburetters.

Please receive herewith.

Lec.3334 - showing an additional feature to be added to the J.2 and Phantom 2 carburettors.

The object of this is to prevent air leaking down through the mixture control into the well at the bottom of the main jet by maintaining float chamber depression in the mixture control chamber.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has promised to confirm this by experimentally inserting a temporary pipe.
