YOUR REF Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 11/MH. {M. Huckerby} 10th October, 1939. W. A. {Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Robotham, I must apologise for the delay in answering your letter of the 28th September, from which it is noted that the Leyland test has not been very successful. I further note that it is your intention to put the Application through your own Patent Agents, mainly as a result of your Management's decision, in this respect. We shall be very interested to know if anything further develops on this piston in the future. Yours sincerely, F. {Mr Friese} Blackith ROLLS-ROYCE A. {Mr Adams} C. 9.
