| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden}3/JH. 23rd. August, 1939. It is quite probable that we shall want to use this carburetter with vacuum ignition control. In this case there seems to be difficulties in finding a place from which to take the depression when an internal fast idle is used. We should be glad to know whether the carburetter we require can be made without going to the expense of new dies. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
