PRITCHETT T.W. PRITCHETT YOUR REF.________ OUR REF. M {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} /5. 20th June 1925. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, We have received your letter of the 17th inst., EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T, re ebonite separators, and have discussed this with our Works who have put up all sorts of points in connection with your letter. It seems to us really to be a matter which ought to be discussed at our Works by the people concerned there, and before endeavouring to settle the matter in correspondence we are writing to know if there is any chance of Mr. Fowler-Clark being in London within a reasonable time, when he could visit our Works where probably an hour or two's discussion would settle the whole matter. If not, we will attempt to deal with it in correspondence. We might add that the official at our Works principally concerned has just gone away on a fortnights holiday. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. G.R.N. Minchin | ||
