W.A. Robotham Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd.,
DERBY

Dear Mr. Robotham,

Thanks for yours to hand this morning, and I shall be up to see you on Thursday morning.

I have myself tested Mr. Winebergs' ( that his name) serrated needles, but have never been able to find any advantage in it. He certainly gets very good results with it on His Bentley Car, but it is probably due to the fact that he knows how to adjust the job, and due to careful tuning.

Anyway, why not try it out for yourself.

All the best.

Yours sincerely,
TCSkinner
