| 606 Expl. Department. August 13th 1937. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /PD.10/AP. Messrs Park, Ward & Co.Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, LONDON N.W.10. For the attention of Mr.Thompson. Dear Sirs, We regret to inform you that the paint supplied separately for the bonnet, does not match up with the body on the 30.HP. body No.4319, colour Brown. The colour has turned out darker than that on the body, yet not so dark as the wings which are a definite difference. It appears to the writer that the body colour has more red in the paint. We should be very pleased if you will have this matter checked up and supply us with sufficient paint to cover the bonnet. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
