VICE-CHAIRMAN T.C. SKINNER M.I.A.E. MANAGING DIRECTOR ADDERLEY PARK, BIRMINGHAM, 8. YOUR REF. OUR REF BC/HJ. 20th January/1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Salt. Dear Sirs, We have been in communication with our die casting people and they inform us that it is not practicable to introduce any further alternatives in the position of the outlet on the Thermostatic Float Chamber, as apparently the die is already so complicated that it does not permit of any further variables. At the time of your request you will remember that we thought this would be so and their communication confirms this first impression. Yours faithfully, for THE S.U. CARBURETTER CO.LTD. B. Cooper | ||
