YOUR REF. RML.6/R.{Sir Henry Royce}
29th May 1937.
W.A. Robotham Esq.,
Experimental Dept.,
Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited,
DERBY.
Dear Mr. Robotham,
I am duly in receipt of your letter of the 28th, and will come to Derby on Tuesday, arriving at the Works immediately after lunch as usual. I have a prior appointment for Monday, so I hope this will be all right for you.
I am wondering if the failure you refer to on a customer's car was Geoffrey Smith's car because no doubt you are aware of the investigations which both Mr. Harvey-Bailey and ourselves made into this job, without any conclusive result.
However I will bring all our data on this piston with me on Tuesday, and we will go into the matter again.
Yours sincerely,
[Signature]
