The following is an extract from Mr Royce's memo, which we shall be glad if you will circulate amongst the Inspectors:- x459 "Re Chassis 2300." "The carburetter was not marked in the "adjustment and the low speed jet was "much too strong. This, I fear, is a "frequent cause of bad consumption as the "engine runs so much better at slow speeds "with this rich mixture and I hear of our "inspectors giving the low speed jet more "petrol to make the engine start better; "both jets must be kept together and when "necessary both should be strengthened and "weakened as provided by our control on "the steering column - otherwise no good "consumption can be obtained." p.
