Thornycroft Type Carburetter. It will be seen upon reference to the figure that the carburetterconsists of a float chamber and a vaporising chamber located in veryclose proximity to one another. When the float (A) sinks, the needlevalve (B) is lifted by the balance levers (C), and petrol is allowed toenter the chamber through the inlet (D). The top of the spindle (B)is protected by a cap (E), which may be removed and the valve (B)lifted when it is desired to flood the carburetter. Leaving the floatchamber by the port (F), the petrol gains access to the spray nozzle(G) through the ducts (H and J). K is an adjustable spindle,enabling the spray at L to be regulated by the movement of thescrew (M), a lock nut (N) maintaining the correct position of thisscrew when the adjustment has been made. Should the duct (J) Internal Combustion Engines 601. ^^e XT R/=l nI R INLET No. 13.—Wolseley Petrol Carburetter. 6o2 Verbal Notes and Sketches become obstructed it may be readily cleared upon removing thescrew (O), whilst the duct (II) is continued to the top of the floatchamber for the same purpose. The vaporising chamber is warmedby a hot-water jacket (P), which is connected with the engine-coolingsystem. This carburetter is of the hand-controlled type, no auto-matic air valve of any kind being relied upon. The main air supplyis drawn in through the pipe (O), which has its intake in proximityto the exhaust piping in order that warm air may be obtained, and,
