Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Mr.Robotham,

I am glad I raised the query about the propeller shaft and we will attend to this in dealing with the drawing. Naturally I would prefer a correct drawing of the gear box, but we will make do with the one we have if no other drawing is available.

You have not mentioned the engine section which I am very anxious to have as we have nothing relating to the unit at all. Could you manage this for us please?

I note what you say about the car that Mr.Lappin is driving and if ever I have time I would like to do as you suggest, but life is very hectic these days as you may imagine. My car continues to run splendidly.

Yours sincerely,

Geoffrey Smith.
