| Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}19/KW. 21st June, 1934. F.F. Kishline, Esq., Assistant Chief Engineer, Graham-Paige Motors Corporation, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Mr. Kishline, We have been making rig tests with the blower on our car and now want a spare. I wonder whether you could let us have one complete except for the gear drive, as soon as possible. We should like it complete with carburetter. We are analysing the efficiency of the supercharger and hope to be able to give you some information as to how to improve its performance. We have arranged with Mr. Inskip of our New York Office to pay for the blower, if you will kindly send the invoice to him. Graham Custom 8, Model 59. 1934 series. 34 HP. Engine No. 1030421. Supercharger Unit complete with carburetter, less gears. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
