| T5/5 1505 646 February 22nd.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.10/AP. The Firestone Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., 11 Queens road, COVENTRY For the attention of Mr.Green. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your various correspondence. I note that the sample buffer which you sent is not the Humber buffer and that its price is very high. Possibly it is a far superior buffer. I think under the circumstances it would be best if we payed your firm a visit next Monday 28th. I am very keen to get a true impression of your articles and their cost. Will you please let me know whether Monday will be convenient for a visit to your Factory. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
