Dear Sirs, With reference to our recent conversation and your visit to us at Radiolympia, I think we have now found a suitable position and an easy means of fixing our Car Radio Unit on your new experimental 30 horse-power Rolls-Royce. This entails a jiffy plate fixing and I am having this plate made up now and would like to bring the set and plate to your Works on Monday, 19th September at 11-45 a.m. If this is quite convenient would you let me know in due course so that I can make the necessary arrangements. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD. C.A. Hall Car Radio Sales & Production Manager.
