TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS: "DUNLOPS,PHONE,BIRMINGHAM" TELEPHONE: ERDINGTON 2121 (P.B.X) EXTENSION No. YOUR REF: OUR REF: K/W.422 FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 14th December 1937. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I understand it would be more convenient for me to call and see you on Thursday, and I should like to call about 10.30 a.m. - if that would suit you. We were unlucky with the Skid Pan arrangements today. The car on its way to Derby was damaged by an American car which got out of control and skidded into it. If convenient to you, and if the weather is suitable, we should like to make the tests on the Skid Pan on Thursday. If this is not convenient, we would take the next available working day, except Saturday, to suit you. Yours sincerely, [Signature] Technical Director. | ||
