VICE-CHAIRMAN BORDESLEY GREEN ROAD, ADDERLEY PARK, BIRMINGHAM, 8. T.C. SKINNER, M.I.A.E. MANAGING DIRECTOR YOUR REF: OUR REF: TCS/DR May 31st 1938. C.T.S. W.A. Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Messrs. British Thermostat Co. Ltd. have sent us copy of your letter to them regarding switches, and asking if we can help in this matter. Candidly, we have had practically no trouble with these switches although we do get people complaining that the starter does not work, chiefly on S.S. cars which is an extremely awkward engine to carburate, but I cannot recollect a single case where, on investigation, the switch has proved to be the trouble. Yours sincerely, | ||
