| By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 1033 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.9.4.38. We think that the trouble recently experienced with Stromberg carburetters is largely due to the finish of the needles. The S.U. finish is much better. We have passed the information along to Zeniths, and anticipate that they will immediately bring their product up to the S.U. standard. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
