| 1097. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 7th March, 1938. A.{Mr Adams} Taub, Esq., Vauxhall Motors Ltd., LUTON. Beds. Dear Taub, Many thanks for your letter of February 25th. I shall be very interested to know what results De Havilland get from your modification to their combustion chamber. I should like to discuss the whole matter with you when you come to the Works, because we have got some big improvements on combustion chambers, but we cannot honestly say that they seem to be highly critical to the theory which you propound. Cadillac's experience seems to parallel ours. By the way, when you come up to Derby on the 14th to read your paper, are you going to give us the opportunity of putting you up ? Also, what time will you come, and how long will you stay ? Yours sincerely, | ||
