10th October, 1939.

W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
Derby.

Dear Mr. Robotham,

I must apologise for the delay in answering your letter of the 28th September, from which it is noted that the Leyland test has not been very successful. I further note that it is your intention to put the Application through your own Patent Agents, mainly as a result of your Management's decision, in this respect.

We shall be very interested to know if anything further develops on this piston in the future.

Yours sincerely,
F.{Mr Friese} Blackith
