| X.4228. To Rs.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ES/10 17.3.22. GOSHAWK 11. CARBURETTER. X.4228. With regard to the suggestion you have made to test Goshawk 11. carburetter on the exhaust side of the engine, this seems well worth carrying out with a view to improving the pulling at low speeds, as the incoming gases will not often then be subjected for a long period to the heating due to the passage way through the cylinder block. Do you want any drawings made, for carrying out this trial, or can you rig the apparatus up without? E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
