| X7080 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R3/M20.8.31. C..to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} re. CARBURETTERS. X. 7080 X. 5080. You will realise that we have been going extremely well with out 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 contemplate d - (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 exper- ience with it before I could give a decision. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
