Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. Dear Mr. West, I am sorry that I was away when you came to the works last Thursday. I had to go unexpectedly up to the Commercial Motor Show, and Mr. Solari, whom you have met previously, was in Scotland for the Scottish Show. I regret that you got such poor attention to the faulty horn on the car, but the remaining man here on that day has not had anything to do with that type of horn, and was trying to learn in the few minutes available what likely adjustments to make. I am just trying out the solid version of the 3 claw bracket for the 20/25 h.p. Have you got your sample yet ? I will write again in a day or two, when I have some definite information. Yours sincerely, J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} a Harris. Eng. & Designs Dept. | ||
