Rolls Royce, Ltd., DERBY. 7th., Sept. 1934. Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 5th instant under reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/MA, we would advise that we have no plans at present to place on the market a car receiver embodying long and short waves. By the end of the month, however, we shall have a more expensive and more powerful receiver; full particulars of which are not yet available. It will include class B amplification, with a speaker separate to the receiver, intending the set for installation to limousines or such cars where a separate speaker may be desirable, also for motor coaches. We shall be very pleased to loan you one of these sets as soon as they arrive. Yours faithfully, PHILCO RADIO AND TELEVISION CORPORATION OF GREAT BRITAIN, LIMITED., [Signature] Manager, CAR RADIO DIVISION. Directors: James M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Skinner, u.s.a. C. L.
