[Handwritten note in red crayon] Publicity Campaign 1941 file 1378. 7th January 1941. [Handwritten note in red crayon] Bentley Publicity W.A.Robotham Esq. 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. | ||
