A new vacuum-controlled constant velocity carburetor devel oped by an American company offers several advantages over ordi nary carburetors, including 25 per cent gasoline economy, improved engine performance and easier starting. The device having only 54 parts compared with some 300 in conventional carburetors has no choke (дроссель). It constantly adjusts the mixture of fuel and air, which cannot be done in usual carburetors. Provided with special mechanism the carburetor helps the engine turn on at once in cold weather. Though developed quite recently, it is already being used by cars and other kinds of public transport. With diesel engine be coming almost standard equipment, the vacuum carburetor will never be used on new cars. It may be said that present-day carbure tors are dinosaurs and in 20 years there won’t be any more. But there are some countries which are interested in importing the de vice as a replacement for existing carburetors. CONVERSATION Exercise 1. Answer the questions.

The man tried again to stand up and said, «Madam, will you al low me to ... » But once more the lady said, «I don’t wish to take your seat, sir!» and forced him back with another push.
