Odd and list-
I recently saw something on TV about a company that made
superchargers that ran off a high speed electric motor. They cost about
$1500., and looked quite small. The unit was activated by a switch.
How about that for a drain on that Lucas alternator!
Maybe someone out there has seen the company I'm talking about.
Good luck!

Scott,
There were Judsons to be had to the Herald/Spitfire 1147 cc engine
back in the stone age... Also Shorrock made supercharger sets for
that type of engine. BUT - both types are rare, very rare to find
these days. I think Leon Guyot still has got one Shorrock set for
his Herald.
I myself are looking into using a _pair_ of Marshall Mk27 blowers
in parallel, each feeding two cylinders. Simply because I've got a
bunch of them lying in the garage... Would look nice I guess.
