Dear Mr. Seaholm, Many thanks for the letter you sent me just before I left the States, saying that you would send on drawings of the flexible V-8 flywheel when they were completed. While in your Works, Arnold asked me to send you drawings of our turbulent type cylinder head, and enclosed are drawings of the Bentley and Phantom III heads, and also a small drawing showing the the highest compression ratio - namely, 9 to 1 - which we have used with this type of head. Thanking you for all the kindness you showed us while we were in Detroit. Yours sincerely, | ||
