| +4660 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.15/KW. 23rd February, 1935. Messrs. Bendix Ltd., Tyseley, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, Bendix Stromberg Carburetter. We have now tested the 42 m.m. Downdraught Carburetter which you lent us yesterday, and have to report that the depression is excessive. Our other complaint is that the slow running is not up to standard owing to the throttle being a bad fit in the bore. We now await the larger choke carburetter which we understand you are preparing for us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
