EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/23.10.28. Messrs E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Harrison & Sons, Ltd, 19, Meymott Street, BLACKFRIARS, LONDON. SE. 1. Dear Sirs, RE "RAPPA" MOTOR TRUNKS. When the writer was at Olympia he discussed with your Mr. Harrison, the question of building a rather De Luxe Type of motor trunk for a car which we are building for a special customer. We are now able to send you a design and a specification of this case of trunks, and to ask you to be prepared to put the work in hand as soon as you receive the official order. We must have delivery not later than the last day of November, and we shall be pleased to hear that you are able to keep that date. We would like to recieve samples of the suit case linings, hides for covering the cases and linings for the inside of the outer case so that we can settle upon suitable materials. If instead of covering the outer case with head material we decided to have it covered with a leather cloth of, say, grey, and sprayed to match the body panels, could you undertake to do this or get this done if we supplied the cellulose lacquer?. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
