Telephones: VICTORIA 6242 (7 LINES) W.A.Robotham Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. YOUR REF. OUR REF. BR/YH DATE 16th Dec., 1940 [Handwritten in red ink: Auto contract misc!] Dear Mr. Robotham, I noticed from the Press of recent issues that your Company is advertising for sub-Contractors. Whilst we have no machine capacity available of the type mentioned in those advertisements, it occurs to me that your Company may be interested in the fact that we have additional capacities available for the production of small electric motors for aircraft applications; for Ignition screening harnesses, and for small electrical and mechanical assemblies of various kinds. We are already supplying electric motors in substantial quantities for aircraft equipment, and as you may be aware we are fully A.I.D. approved. Otherwise also we are, of course, known to you for quality products. Perhaps you would be good enough to pass this letter along to the appropriate Department, asking them to advise us in the event of their being interested in any or all of these productions. With kind regards, Yours truly, B. Ruddin M.I.A.E., Technical & Works Director.
