HI ALL,
DURING THE WAR Beatrice Shilling who was an Engineer developed a solution for the su fitted to the Merlin engine in Spitfires,
During dives and rolls By fitting a small disc with a small orifice in the fuel intake just before the carb this enabled enough fuel normal running but if the float moved quickly opening the needle it restricted the flow and cut out flooding
