| 1128 AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/ML.11.3.40. PETROL MARINE ENGINES. With reference to the above, I would like you to quote exact particulars of what we have to compete with in the way of price in order to sell against American engines. I think you will find that by the time we have provided a gear-box and all the etceteras, our price will be higher than we think. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
