| X.4228 To Wa.{Mr Wallis} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} &: to CJ. &: to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hg. & EFC. c. to HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} R2/G13.5.21. X.4228 - Re. GOSHAWK II CARBURETTER. We send you herewith drawing No.LeC.1386 shewing the above. This drawing shews the carburetter complete and a portion of the control gear dealing with the manipulation of the throttles. No hot air supply is incorporated, but the intention is to maintain the interior of the bonnet or engine house at a high temperature by means of radiator shutters, and this should form a very efficient hot air supply to the carburetter.
