| - 2 - If you think that this transmission would appeal to your firm, I would ask my principals for permission to take the matter up officially with you; although we already have a certain manufacturing agreement with Armstrong Whitworth in Newcastle, I would propose to Friedrichshafen that they give Messrs. Rolls-Royce the right to manufacture the box for their own cars. For the time being, I would appreciate if Messrs. Rolls Royce would not refer to this letter in any communication with Friedrichshafen as, officially, I have no permission to discuss the new transmission. Yours sincerely, (Sgd) ERNST SCHNEIDER. | ||
