| 1001 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 7th March, 1938. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Wilks, Esq., The Rover Company Ltd., New Meteor Works, COVENTRY. Dear Wilks, We appear to have missed one another with remarkable consistency on the telephone to-day. I wanted to ask you whether the lock you showed us the other day was really in a fit state to be put on a car. I have got Wilmot-Breeden to make me three sets, but somebody told me that you could not slam the door with the lock in its present state. If this is really so, I would like to wait a little while until the development is completed. Yours sincerely, | ||
