| 1204? To Lr{Mr Ellor}/JSO. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}20.9.38. We should like to obtain a second-hand Kestrel Supercharger (in working condition) in order to adapt to our portable rig engine. The rig engine will drive the supercharger and will be used for airflow test on the carb intakes, and possibly for experiment on boosting the Ph.III engine. Will you please let us know if one is available and if so, the drawing numbers etc. in order to scheme out a drive. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} | ||
