No one minds paying a high price for a carburetter if the customer gets good value out of it. The attached report indicates that the the moment we are hardly getting vlue for money on the special items which we demand on the Stromberg. The sample carburetters are available for inspection. We think the recommendations made in the report are reasonable. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
