| The Associated Equipment Co. Ltd. -2- Continuation Sheet No. W.A. Robotham, Esq. 30. 6.34. gone further with this scheme if it had not been for our general adoption of the compression ignition oil engine. You will appreciate that with the extra noise and roughness of the oil engine the tappet noise is of less importance than with the petrol engine. If there is any further information I can give you on this matter please let me know. Yours faithfully, For: THE ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT COMPANY LIMITED, (G.J. Rackham) CHIEF ENGINEER. A.E.C.
