SUPERCHARGERS FOR PEREGRINE. In order to get some idea of how the Bensport engine is going to be when run with 12 lbs of boost, we shall have to give a Powerplus blower a preliminary run on Peregrine, as soon as we have one available. We are not sure whether you have made the bits to E's scheme for utilising the existing car, but if not, we should be glad if you will put one set in hand. It will be some little time before we can carry out a test, but nevertheless, it is sure to be required. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
