Carburetter Air Valves. --------------------------------- As we are still having continual trouble with sticky air valves, and the Administration is anxious to know whether any improvements are being incorporated on Production cars, we shall be glad to hear whether you can say what progress has been made in regard to the two schemes mentioned in E/Lid{A. J. Lidsey}2/HP15.2.34. We are more interested in the second scheme referred to, which is now running on C's car 20-G-IV, as this appears to be fairly easy to apply to existing cars.
