I believe him in his office Typed text (with handwritten additions): Bkl.12/4.11.37 We have been asked by the Publishers of an Engineering Book of Reference for a photograph of any Rolls-Royce car made during the period 1914/1935. During that period very few records of this nature were kept at Conduit Street, and I am unable to supply this. Do you think it would be possible to secure a photograph from the Derby records that will fit this case ? There are various other photographs asked for, but these I can supply. Bkl. | ||
