We had a visit from the above gentleman, who is the inventor of a new type of petrol engine, details of which you perhaps have already read in certain papers. It appears he now has a model of this engine in Town and would like to hear from us whether we would be interested in it. Mr. Werry said he had already written to CWB., about it and asked him to make an inspection of the engine, but so far he had not heard and as CWB. is at present away for a week, Mr. Werry would like to hear from us by return of post if we are interested. As we are unable to trace anything at this end, we suggest you might like to write him direct, as he is in rather a hurry, on account of his having had a proposition put up to him and he cannot hold it over much longer. Please find his card attached and also an extract from the "Westminster Gazette", which he handed us. Enclosure. Cx {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} /Bly {B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
