" As a' preliminary'report,-we fell you that "the 'Carburetter was placed on the J.B.C-. Car, a. run of 7G miles being, niade, ...including four stiff hills, and the smount of petrol consumed was 2' gallons " ; -7-pints. , The extra speed iioted was really surprising, and'he power 1 on the hills-was.a.-decided'improvement'.' The previous running, of . . par.witlj —:.Carburetter was 17 miles to the gallon; the jet. was ' then-ihade smaller, with .the lesult of 19J"mile's to the gallon; 'This ■was the be^fc.that the writer could obtain.. On the- "Master" it . . works out at practically 25i miles to the gallon, increase of fi ?niles per gallon. During the ;rim. we -found that on- half acceleration the lever control was put down .'to. the leanest mixture : possible, and.vit , is quite probablo that we could do with a smaller distributor, and would get more,.-economical running still. Tl>e one at.present in the carburetter is marked "S." AVe would'be pleased if you wouL? forward another—we do-cot.know which way the. sizes run, whether, it would bean "R" ora'T," as the re is lo note made of this in the ••:. instructions. .... ,: '• We would also like to Fay that flie "Master Carburetter" you sent .:■• us-for-the.
