Ltd., East Works, Bordesley Green Road, Adderley Park, BIRMINGHAM. For the Attention of Mr. Skinner. Dear Mr. Skinner, I notice in this week's Autocar (Sept. 30th.), a picture of the 15 HP. Daimler intake air silencer. This appeals to me rather strongly as the worst feature of the car to which your carburetters are fitted is the intake roar. I wonder whether - (a) You supply the bend and elbow for this carburetter. (b) You have particulars of the air silencer fitted. (c) You have the pieces available in the size of carburetter which you are going to let me have for the 25 HP. R.R. I hesitate to make up the bends myself as you have already warned me that one can run into trouble by not knowing exactly the shape required. Yours sincerely, | ||
