A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., D e r b y. Dear Mr. Robotham, You will remember that Mr. Barclay wrote to you a short while ago in connection with a special silencer in which he was interested. I forwarded your blue print to M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Mimerei. We have since received the following query from him, and before replying I should like you to confirm if it is for a 4¼ litre Bentley and not for a special experimental model. "Could you tell me whether this blue print corresponds to the 3½-litre or the 4¼-litre Bentley, and which are the bore, the stroke and the r.p.m." On receipt of this information from you, I will forward it to M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Mimerei so that he can put the work in hand. Yours sincerely, H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Fergusson Wood, Assistant to the General Manager. PLEASE ADDRESS ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO THE FIRM AND NOT TO INDIVIDUALS | ||
