| X5080 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CPS. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CPS.2/MA.17.4.34. Re. HORIZONTAL TYPE CARBURETTERS (20/25). You have in hand, a number of cylinder blocks to E.59726 to be used with the above type of carburetter. These cylinder blocks were delayed, in order that the modifications necessary to the carburetter should be ascertained first. We would now like these cylinder blocks completed to suit the latest 1.500 throttle bore carburetter, so that complete change-overs can be made on our test cars.
