Dear Robotham, (Handwritten annotation: R m -) (Handwritten annotation: your letter to M) Just returned - your letter interesting. Believe however, the proper thing would be to interest Mr. Hunt in Detroit. * We should like to try out some rod bearings on our truck engine. However, like the 25 h.p. the metal is cast in the rod and we cannot make room for an inserted bearing. I have some very interesting data on Buick '38 engine. Pop in sometime. Yours sincerely, ALEX TAUB. (Handwritten annotation: Sending your letter -) | ||
