| ED{J. L. Edwards}/AML 4.11.36. POINTS FOR DISCUSSION ON 11.11.36. 1. Car Carburation. A 27 H.P. Vauxhall car will be available to exhibit one of our carburetters installed with special type of starting shutter and also mixture control. The other features of the carburetter are probably known, and it is desired to have a criticism, both as to the carburation of the car from the Rolls-Royce standard, and as to the usefulness of certain special features, from the same point of view. Aero Engine Controls. 2. Automatic control of a constant speed V.P. airscrew, in conjunction with boost pressure and mixture strength. 3. Automatic control of a two-speed Supercharger, the object being to prevent the use of the high speed gear below a pre-determined height, but to allow of a low speed gear being used at any height, at the will of the pilot. | ||
