Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c.to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c.to Ms. Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}7/NJ22.8.23. Strombos Horn. Rolls-Royce of America Inc. inform us they have been asked on several occasions for a Strombos Horn, but so far have been unable to find same in U.S.A. They have asked us to say whether any of these horns have been fitted in chassis built at Derby and, in the affirmative case, where the horns can be obtained and at what price. Order Office have not been able to find any mention in their records of this particular horn, and I shall be much obliged if Sales, Repair Dept., Test Dept. and Experimental Dept. will be good enough to say whether they can furnish information with regard to same, especially as to where the horn can be obtained.
