Lr{Mr Ellor}/EJH. (Mr. Hooker)

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/ML.27.3.40.

Leylands have asked us to help them with a supercharger which they are designing for one of their compression ignition units.

They have been helpful to us in the past on various subjects and we should therefore like to oblige them.

The suggestion is that Markland, their Research Engineer, should come over here and talk to the supercharger experts. Attached is a list of the questions which he wants to ask.

Can you let me know what day would be convenient for you to give him an hour or so?

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
