THOMAS VICE-CHAIRMAN T. C. SKINNER, M.I.A.E. MANAGING DIRECTOR ADDERLEY PARK, BIRMINGHAM, 8. OUR REF: JNM/MRC. 8th July, 1940. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Automobile Development Section, DERBY. Attention of Mr. Salt. Dear Mr. Salt, Further to our telephone conversation of this morning, in which I promised to let you have a general arrangement drawing of the large Self-Feeding Carburetter tomorrow, since speaking to you I find that we shall not be able to send this on until the latter part of the week; I hope, however, this will not inconvenience you. If you will refer to a letter of mine written some two months ago to Mr. Rowbotham you will see that we are not altogether satisfied with the performance of this last carburetter in its present form, the drawing, however, shows the overall dimensions of the carburetter after a modification which involves increasing its height about 3/4". This increase in height is made on the drawing, and I think you can safely assume that the overall dimensions will not be exceeded. Yours truly, pp J N Morris R Leslie Kent Handwritten text: 1081 Rom/CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
