| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/R.{Sir Henry Royce} PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL. 16th July, 1938. V.C. Young, Esq., Messrs Wilcox-Rich, Division of Eaton Manufacturing Co., 9771, French Road, DETROIT, MICHIGAN, U.S.A. Dear Young, Many thanks for your letter of July 6th, we will go into the question of the data you require, and let you know something in due course. We are going to have some difficulty in giving you this data, because the engine we are producing is of a novel type of which we do not want to publish details for the time being. You will, therefore, appreciate our diffi-culty, and realise that we are not withholding information to which other people have access. Yours sincerely, | ||
