WHEN REPLYING PLEASE REFER TO H.E.West, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. RLN/EH. 25th July.1935. Dear Mr.West, I quite intended to send you copies of my Representative's report on his visits to your Rolls-Royce and Bentley Service Stations in London. The two attached reports are, I think, self-explanatory, and I should be interested to know whether they match up with your London people's impression of the situation generally. All the spare parts requested by both Depots have been despatched to them and as far as I know they have not experienced any difficulty in servicing the lamps up to the present moment. Yours sincerely, [Signature] | ||
