Dear Sirs,

We have heard from Mr. Kishline that you are manufacturing the cone worm for their supercharger drive.

We are particularly interested in this drive and would like to try one out. We do not know what method you would suggest and whether we can manufacture the gear on this side. Perhaps you could write us further on the subject.

At the same time we shall be interested to know what your royalty conditions are.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
