To: Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} S. West
From: Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham

In one of my previous notes I mentioned the
air-cooling of the new LaSalle dynamo. I attach
herewith copy of the letter which I received from their
chief engineer in reply to my query as to what they
gain from this procedure and how it is accomplished.

I also send you a drawing of the Chevrolet
starter motor, which has almost exactly the same job
to do as ours on the Bentley.

I shall try to bring a LaSalle generator back
with me, but am not sure whether this will be possible.

Yours very truly,
W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham
