| S/W. RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}..from Bkl. Bkl.1/25.6.36. I understand from Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} that 33-EX a red Phantom III is ready for colour photography and I should like you to let me know when it will be convenient for your people to let me have it for two or three hours so that it can be run out into the country and photographed amid pleasant surroundings. I can get my operator up on the train that arrives at Derby at approximately 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock. I further understand that 35-EX will soon be available, and 32-EXand 36-EX will be ready in the near future. If you will be good enough to let me know when I can get to work on these cars I shall be much obliged. Bkl. | ||
