Mat Engineers taw 'to' say about! ' the "MASTER. NMBUIETTEI" | October 11, 1918. j The.Managing Director, Ihe.Tourist Motor Co., Ltd. j . :. HASTINGS. I Dear Sir, '■■ The writer has to thank you for yours of the Wt inst. nnd. the j prompt .manner in which this Carburetter wos supplied."- ,: ! As a preliminary report, we tell you that the Carburetter was ! placed on the J. 8.0. Car, a run of 76 miles being ma,de, ■ including j four stiff hills, and the f.mount of petrol consnmed was 2 gallons,-,-r! 7 pints. The extra speed noted was really surprising, and *he power Wi on the hills was a decided improvement. Tho previous running' of. : ''ll car .witli — Carburetter was 17 miles to the gallon; tho jet was • ■ then made smaller, with the result of 19J miles to the gallon. .This :i was the best that the writer could obtain. On- tho . "Master" it "j • • works out at m-actically 2.H miles to the gallon, increase of 6 miles \ , per gallon. During the run wo'found that on half acceleration tho'; ;4 . lever control was put down to the leanest mixture possible, nnd.it" 1 -! is quite probable lliat we could do with a smaller distributor,, and •■•'-) would get more economical running still. The one at. present in-the '•'] 1 carburettor is marked "S." We would bo pleased if you wouy for- i ward another—we do l.ot know which way the sizes run, whether it would be an "It" or a "T," as there is »o nolo made tf this in tho' i . instructions. ' i • We would also like to ray. that tho "Master Carburetter" you sent \ ■us for the Sunbeam car showed an increase of 11 miles per* gallon, j with'considerably more lower on the hills thm the previous car- ■ j buretter fitted to this car. This is an astounding result. .' Yours' faithfully, j (Signed) H. GAR-BUTT, ' ' 1 Manager, Booth, Macdonald and Co., Ltd., DUNBDIN. i! —__._. '■■ • ''■•■' ; -^:\;j ■ AGENTS-. A.
