| 8 1263 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}.4/JH. 7th December, 1936. The S.U. Company Co.Ltd., East Works, Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park, Birmingham .8. For the attention of Mr. Leslie Kent. Dear Sirs, With regard to the 25/30 H.P. R.R. induction pipe you asked for. If you intend to fit this with an S.U. downdraught together with the automatic starting device it is not of much interest to us. What we require is the Bentley pipe fitted with the automatic starting where we will have a direct comparison with the existing cars. On the 25/30 H.P. R.R. the issue would be confused by changing the type of carburetter. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE Ltd. | ||
