RAR/MVG. 28th January, 1935. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, Derby. Dear Robotham, I enclose herewith a copy of a letter I have written to Hall to-day which is self-explanatory. I think it represents the most sensible course to pursue and I hope it meets with your approval. I confirm having wired you to-day for the wind tunnel figures and a coachbuilders print. If Hall authorises me to go ahead, I should rather like to have an opportunity of looking over one or two points on the chassis down here, chiefly with a view to arriving at the lowest possible seat position. Perhaps you could arrange to have the chassis call here on the way to the body-builders, as I should not want it for more than a couple of hours. Yours sincerely, Reid A Railton Enc. -RAILTON CARS- | ||
