Variable Pitch Fan.

We think that this fan is going to be very useful to us on the Vulture(Experimental 6 CYL OHV LONG STROKE / Aero Engine). We therefore want to get one on test as soon as possible. As discussed with you, we want a complete fan in order to test it properly.

Will you therefore please make up one as per the attached memo.
