Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Experimental Dept. Derby. Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for your letter of the 7th inst., and note with satisfaction that the final amendment of the Hobson K-S Telegage set, as fitted to your 40/50 h.p. car is continuing to give satisfactory results. We can at once repeat the same factor of safety, both on the dash unit and tank unit, for your 20 h.p. car, if you will let us have exact particulars of the height of the side filler etc., at present used on this model. The only information which we have here consists of drawings L.F.924 and L.F.925, and these merely refer to the facia board angle and the tank calibration. What we should like to have in connection with this car, is a tank of the latest type sent to us, so that we can first of all calibrate it exactly, according to our latest | ||
