YOUR REF: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}4/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} OUR REF: RLK/NK. JBD{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. Experimental Dept. D E R B Y. 15th February 1937. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 13th inst, and have pleasure in enclosing herewith the print asked for. We think your suggestion would be perfectly feasible. It would of course, add fairly considerably to the weight, and it might give us a slightly different characteristic in the armature pull. We should therefore have to test it before definitely approving of it. In the meantime, we are trying to see if Messrs. Accles & Pollock can help us out on a construction made of tube, and we are waiting for their representative to call in reference to this. Yours faithfully, For THE S.U. CARBURETTER CO.LTD.
