| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}20/KW.25.2.36. The matter is somewhat urgent as our Managing Director will be here next week and I am proposing to go into the question while he is here. Unfortunately, most of the blackguarding of the Aerolite piston was done whilst I was away on holiday; otherwise some of the statements made would not have remained unchallenged as long as they have. If you would like to discuss the matter I am free on Thursday or Saturday morning of this week, or Monday of next week. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
