| 1137 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/WYM.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}7/JMS. Your ref: WFM/BP. 23.6.40. Messrs. Air-Maze, Limited, Bush House, Aldwych, LONDON, W.C.2. For the attention of Mr. McGloon. Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of the 20th instant, the sample Air Maze filter supplied by you was too large to fit underneath the bonnet of any of our cars, and therefore has never been run in a motor car. For the last nine months, however, it has been doing very useful work on a Gas plant used in our Foundry, and is still in use. We shall not be able to do anything further with filters for motor cars until after the War, as all our energies are now directed to the manufacture of Aero engines. We hope to get in touch with you again as soon as we recommence the manufacture of motor cars. Yours faithfully, | ||
