Dear Sir, Phantom III Carburetter E.88115. ------------------------------- We shall be fitting in the near future, a petrol pump in a new position, which necessitates the float needle seating of the carburetter being .130 instead of .180 as at present. According to the information available at the moment, we shall require 84 needle seatings .130 to convert carburetters which have already been delivered, and will be fitted at the time the new petrol pump is available, therefore, will you kindly let us have a supply of these seatings as early as possible. In regard to our Order No.37096 for 232 Carburetters, will you please arrange for these to be fitted with .130 seatings. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
