SKINNER, M.I.A.E. MANAGING DIRECTOR ADDERLEY PARK, BIRMINGHAM, 8. 13th August 1938. YOUR REF: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.7/MH.{M. Huckerby} OUR REF: BC/DCM. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Attention of Mr. Salt (Experimental Dept). Dear Sirs, Replying to yours of the 12th instant, we can make these four special bodies for you, but we should prefer to leave the making and fitting of the steel flange to you- the reason being that the four bodies, although very "special" can be done on the special carburetter machining line, whereas the steel plate is a fitters job and we are very overworked already in this department. We should machine the two flange steps on the body, ready to fit the plate. The bodies would be supplied complete with pistons and jet assemblies and float chamber. We will let you have a print of the detail drawing of the body in two or three days. Yours faithfully, for THE S.U. CARBURETTER CO. LTD. B. Cooper | ||
