X. 8080 Xx808x [crossed out] X. 728 CARBURETTERS. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} suggests that an expanding carb. of any type could be coupled to the centrifugal governor - i.e. in our case to the auto: advance relay, which depends on increase of speed for opening out the carb. R.{Sir Henry Royce} suggests a restrictor in the venturi of a straight through carb., to be drawn downwards or backwards by an air vessel depending upon the depression in the carb., or other automatic or manual means.
