| ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. x4660 Oy2-E-81927 August 19, 1927. Mr. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. Hives, Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby, England. Dear Mr. Hives: Re Stromberg Carburetter I think you may be interested in attached description of the latest American Stromberg carburetter, which has the following fittings: (1) Accelerating well operated at full throttle. (2) Mechanical adjustment of fuel restriction with throttle position. (3) Mechanical enrichment of the low-speed jet, coupled to choke-valve for easy starting. (4) A visible filter incorporated in carburetter with integral draining device. Sorry that I could not get fuller descriptive matter but this appears to be all they have printed to date, except the usual sort of circus-posters. Yours very truly, Maurice Olley MO/E | ||
