Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. Dear Robotham, I am sending you to-day two sections of the Austin radiator grille, chrome plated but with cream treatment in the way I suggested to you when I was with you recently. I think you will probably see from this the effect that can be obtained, and I shall be interested to know whether you think that you could make use of it in any of the more decorative motifs on your new cars. As a matter of fact, I think it was your original suggestion of some such thing, and perhaps we could have a talk about it when I come over and see you next time. Yours sincerely, C.L. Breeden | ||
