“e : a S ue « Poked os ty mF Vary Perfusen Resecarch Led ; CONTINUATION ee oe If you can maintain your high stalled torque, and it is economical, silent and smooth in operation, this will, indeed, be a cheery development. You say that you may get the full size job ready within the next few weeks and, if successful, you will let me know the result. By all means do so, I shall be most interested to hear from you. : THE FUTURE. One of the reasons for writing you my last letter was to try and work out a situation where we could find means of getting some more income to you without having it all, or most of it, taken from you in taxation, Your good friend John Peacock is working hard on this and I hope that, ina few months, we may work out something of interest to you. Of course, this is nothing to do with any business connection we may have but only bears reference to the long years we worked so hard and so cheerily together. You will hear more about this later, : With the very best of good wishes to you and your nice family, Yours most sincerely, ayer P,S, When next you are writing me, do give me some idea of the efficiency of your transmission and its possible cost, as compared with an ordinary clutch and gearbox.
