Dear

Thank you for your letter of January 7th.

I am sorry that you do not like my suggestions for making the Turbo Transmitter more palatable to the ordinary customer, but am not surprised. I obviously agree that the first thing is to get the unit in its present state tested on one of our machines.

I will send you the information you asked for previously, so that you can complete the drawings for the lash-up, to enable the test to be made.

I will talk to Grylls about your objections to running the transmitter in a standard Snipe.

If your reverse gear has functioned satisfactorily in practice, I think it would be presumption on my part to criticise it.

Yours sincerely,

Captain J.S.H. Moore,
Turbo Transmitters Limited,
48a, Cambridge Road,
SOUTHPORT.
Lancashire.
