| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GR.{George Ratcliffe} 1033 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.18.6.37. I spoke to the Stromberg people about the trouble we had with the Butterfly choke being blown passed its stop due to a back fire, and, subsequently, bringing the car to rest by being closed with the engine depression. Fisher stated he had heard nothing about it, I shall be glad if you will draw this matter to his attention. Fisher also spoke to me about leaks from the 25/30 float chamber carburetter lead. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} is asking about this. I have heard nothing of it, and shall be glad to have some information. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
