| W/K - KC. x206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}14/KW.19.8.36. I have been talking to-day with a Mr. Salt, who is doing some work on the Bentley slow running here. I told him I thought you had some arrangement on the old Bentleys using a small auxiliary carburetter and small separate pipes to distribute the mixture. I should be very much obliged if you could give me any details or drawings of the system you used and also any advantages or disadvantages you encountered.
