Re: 20/25 h.p. Carburetter Flooding.

E.2/HP.12.6.35. We note you set out the two modifications that you are making to carburetters, namely, the filter on the end of the flexible pipe and the modification to the space surrounding the needle seat.

Do you not think that a depot sheet ought to be issued in connection with these, so that depots may make this modification whenever they get a car into their hands?

We certainly feel that this should be done in order to eliminate this annoying occurrence.

Perhaps you will please let us know.

C.
