Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7/h 1st February, 1944 W.A. Robotham, Esq. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., DERBY Dear Robotham, The tests on the Aspinized Vauxhall engine occurred at a time when I was working with Maurice Olley and had little to do with power unit problems. I did get a broad idea of Taub's opinion on the results but would like to supplement this by running through our test reports with the people here who did the work - I had intended to do so, anyhow, following the report in the current "Automobile Engineer". May I leave it that I will write again within the next week or so? Yours sincerely, Maurice Platt MAURICE PLATT Power Unit Engineer | ||
