Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. W.A.Robotham. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter dated the 26th November. We regret to say that we have not yet been able to complete the experimental Bentley V radiator matrix. Our Sheet Metal Department has been so busy on aircraft development for your colleagues at Hucknall, that we literally have not had a moment to spare. At the first possible opportunity we will get back on to the job, and will endeavour to get it completed for delivery possibly not later than the end of January. Yours faithfully, MORRIS MOTORS LIMITED RADIATORS BRANCH. [Signature] G.E.Dono. GENERAL MANAGER. A.I.D. APPROVED LIST AUTHORITY No. B.11889/39 | ||
