TELEPHONE: LEYLAND 81400 (16 LINES) LEYLAND. LANCASHIRE. 13th. March, 1940. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Robotham, Very many thanks for all your kindness and hospitality. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Derby and particularly to your home. Since returning to Leyland I have had a talk to Pilkington regarding supercharging, and have asked him to talk this matter over with Markland who is now considering the problems that he is faced with and the information that he would like to know. Having done this I have asked him to write you as you suggested. With regard to chromium plating I have arranged that Mr. Aspley will be given all information so far as we know it during his visit, and I am waiting to hear either from you or from Mr. Aspley himself as to when we may expect him at Leyland. Kind regards, Yours faithfully, (H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Spurrier, Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner}) | ||
