| To: Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from: Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/h.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 14.10.41. 1212. I wonder whether you have seen the article on Page 802. of "The Autocar" of October 10th? It describes two new Austin models. The larger is 14 H.P. and seems to be based on almost exactly the same specification as the Myth; the small one closely resembles the little car we have drawn out based on the Austin 8, which we have, and for which we have designed a 3-cylinder engine built up of junior rationalised engine parts. Obviously, it was no good finalising the design of the 3-cylinder engine until we had proved out the Myth engine. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
