CWW/MO. 24th August, 1936. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW. Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 17th instant and am glad to know that we are now quits and trust that no ill effects have resulted from the shower bath. It is true that we have had certain troubles with these ventilators which we do not manufacture ourselves, and I know that you can well appreciate the many troubles caused by outside supplies. It is impossible with our limited space to fix up a rig to reproduce weather conditions met with on the road, but I am glad to say that I think we have safely solved this particular problem. Yours sincerely, [Signature] | ||
