| 1036 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MH.{M. Huckerby} 4th. August 1938. R.Railton, Esq., Messrs. Thomson & Taylor (Brooklands) Ltd., Brooklands Track, Weybridge, SURREY. Dear Railton, Is it possible for you to give me the following information:- (1) what does a customer get out of the duplex carburetter on the Terraplane 6, and (2) what exactly is the induction system used. I have noticed that your photograph recurs with ever increasing frequency in our illustrated motoring papers, usually in combination with other distinguished people. I hope that your two most recent jobs were as successful as those which you have produced in the past. Yours sincerely, | ||
