| Clan Foundry, Belper Belper 324. 1153 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/SW. 28th February, 1944. Captain J.S.H. Moore, Turbo Transmitters, Ltd., 48a, Cambridge Road, SOUTHPORT. Dear Could you let me have detail drawings of the Converter you are going to supply for the Bentley, and I will endeavour to see whether we can make it in the form of Light Alloy die castings. If you have any calculations showing how loads in the main housing are determined, I should be very grateful to have them so that we may arrive at the conclusions intelligently. The Converter you have so kindly loaned me will act as a very useful model to talk around. Yours sincerely, | ||
