| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} DY.{F R Danby} re. CARBURETTERS. ORIGINAL RECEIVED 1931 JUL RECEIVED 28 JUL 1931 R3/M20.8.31. x7080. x5080. You will realise that we have been going extremely well with our old carburetter - for our type of car- for a large number of years, and we should be very slow to change. If this was seriously contemplated - (say in the case of the S. U.) I should want a specimen for some time on my personal car so that I could get some experience with it before I could give a decision. | ||
