OUR REF. JHT/MMcK. YOUR REF. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth.7/JH. 9th April, 1927. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. F.W. Smith. We have received your letter of the 8th instant, and note that at the present time you do not propose to take the question of considering Centric super-chargers any further. We hope, however, that should you at any time in the near future require co-operation in connection with the supercharging of motor car engines, you will take advantage of the considerable amount of data we have collected from bench tests and from practical experience and research, and you may be sure that willing co-operation would always be at your disposal. Yours faithfully, p.p. CENTRIC SUPERCHARGERS LTD. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hartley Taylor DIRECTOR. | ||
