W.A.Robotham, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Robotham, I am so glad to learn from yours of the 17th just to hand that our drawing has been well received. As requested, I am putting the necessary machinery in motion to take care of an actual facia - we have all the required information I believe and I sincerely hope when this is completed it will meet with your approval. I am afraid it will be necessary to claim your kind indulgence because of the difficulties of tackling a job of this nature nowadays especially as we are very inundated in our experimental department. Meantime, I note your wishes regarding the ignition switch. Kind regards, Sincerely yours, Charles Wmainoh CWN/GR{George Ratcliffe} | ||
