Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X1487 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}14/H13.3.22. Re. CARBURATION on 40/50 CARS. X1487 X2768 In view of the trouble we are having with the carburation at low speeds full throttle on 40/50 cars, and also the varying complaints of unsatisfactory horse power under these conditions, could you not, in view of the success you have achieved on the Goshawk with the S.U. Carburetter, also try a similar Carburetter on the 40/50 chassis? This is a point I feel you might bring up for consideration during your coming interview with R.{Sir Henry Royce} EP.{G.
