| W/S - C. X-209 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KW.19.9.36. Supercharging the Bentley. Replying to C.7/C.11.9.36. We do know of the "Centric" supercharger. We also know from Mr. Briggs Cunningham that the conVersion was not quite the success Mr. Harjes would have us believe. This is only to be expected, as the supercharger must be designed into a car to give the best results. We are of course proceeding with the supercharging of the Bentley experimentally.
