Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/R.{Sir Henry Royce} BUCKINGHAM AVENUE, TRADING ESTATE, SLOUGH, BUCKS. 23rd January, 1939. W.A.Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd. D E R B Y. My dear Robotham, I spent the week-end with John Howlett, going over this bearing question, and he agrees with me entirely that we should contact and satisfy first the six large users. In connection with this, he has already got samples working. When they are satisfied, and we have got all the snags out of the job, we shall be better able to make definite conclusions in regard to our main sales policy. I think you will agree that this is the safest way of proceeding. Yours sincerely, W.C.Devereux.
