| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X4482 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/AD6.2.32. ALFA ROMEO CAR. We have taken all the particulars of this engine on the test bed and it is now stripped down for examination and making sketches of parts. We wish also to take complete characteristics of the blower, as the blower R.{Sir Henry Royce} has in mind for the BenSports is the same type as the Alfa Romeo. Since that time we have become interested in the Power Plus blower and we want to do some comparative tests with the Alfa Romeo and the Power Plus to judge their efficiencies and the amount of noise from each. We think these tests will take 3 to 4 weeks for before they are completed. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
