Dear Harold:
Confirming my conversation this morning, I will taade
you my acrocar, which is quite complete with radio,
speedometers, compass, loather ohairs, etc. for a
15?" wheel base stream line aerooar, such as the
one you designed some time since for the Hudson Motor
Car 'Company. •
This oar, in order to make a proper iwprt=esion must
have a compass the same as I have now, a radio as I
have now speedometer as I have now, in the aerocar,
room for four passengers to be seated comfortably
back of the d2iver c s position.
Tho 7erocar which I am talking about at the present
time, belongs to Mrs. Fisher, who is a otookho] er
in your corporation, she will make you an even trade
of this car for a 1 ?" wheel base oar, such as I have
outlined.
Personally, I told like to trade you 810,000 worth
of stock in some of the various Companies, in which
I am interested,(and one of the Companies, as a stook
holder is the Curtiss Wright Company) for a rights
interest in this semi-patented chassis, which you
have designed and drawn as 152" wheel base touring
Oar.
Hy idea is to promote the sales with manufacturers
of a car of this type, and I am villin ; to invest
610,000 of my stock pereonally.for the right to -
participate in the results of my dfforts. The process
of just what this participation may be can be adjusted
to be both profitable and satisfactory for yourself,
as yell as myself, either two, or threw, or four, or
five percent will be entirely satisfactory, according t
to the setup.
It will cost me certain sums to even. make the prelim -
m ary effort to interest manufacturers in this patent
and in this type of car, but the last five years

Mr. Harold Robinson — f2
it seems to me has thoroughly demonstrated that I can
pick up business where it be impossible for your
corporation to even get contact.
Naturally this should be so, through the long list
of acquaintances of many years, and also through almost
daily contact with some one branoh or the other of the
automobile industry,
I would like to make some arra,ngomonts that would
be equitable and suitable to your Corporation, that
would give me an opportunity to assist, and athe
same tine to not do what I have just finished doing
with the Aerocar Corporation i.e. having spent a lot
of effort and energy and more than20 000 in this
effort to find I am out the 20,003(which I do not
regret at all) but I believe if I had had more
control of the handjrng of the varbues contracts
that came up, I might have been of more ood to
he
Company, and perhaps speeded up the ultimate endofthe Company, either good or bad.
I think the 157" wheel base car has bettor prospects
than thf acrooar, and much more speed; in the ultimate
result there are 50 buyers for the 15 " wheel base
car, where you dont have one buyer for the aorowlr.
I would like to do Something definite before I leave
here a week from today. ,
Yours very truly,
CARL G. FI arIrR
