Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.21/KW.13.12.34.

Automatic Idling Device, LeC.4072.

We wish to try a different arrangement of cam and throttle lever from that shown on above LeC, to prevent the throttle spring causing the eccentric to reverse. Will you therefore please have a cam and throttle lever constructed to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1653 and Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1657 respectively and fit this throttle lever to the carburetter which we will hand to you.
