1260 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 22nd December, 1938. A.T. Colwell, Esq., Messrs. Thompson Products, Inc., 2196, Clarkwood Road, CLEVELAND. Dear Colwell, Thanks very much for your letter of December 12th, together with the information it contained. I think, under the circumstances, we will not bother with copper-cooled valves for the time being. I shall be interested to know whether there is any sodium-cooled valve in production in either commercial or passenger car units in the States. Yours sincerely, | ||
