| ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. x77 72. May 2nd, 1932. Mr. W.A. Robotham, Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby, England. Dear Sir:- Beg to acknowledge yours of the 14th of April, to which you attached certain information in reply to complaints which were discussed with you when at Springfield. Desire to thank you for your attention to this matter and trust the information which you have supplied will take care of the difficulties. There is no question but what we are experiencing difficulty in connection with Booming. This at various speeds and various jobs. The movement of the radiator in some cases has been quite annoying and quite difficult to overcome. The information supplied by you I have turned over to Mr. Darling, our engineer, and if he requires further data regarding the points mentioned he will take the matter up with you. I trust that both you and Mr. Swift greatly enjoyed your trip to United States and that you obtained some valuable information. Regret exceedingly you did not find it possible to spend more time at Springfield. We certainly enjoyed your visit and regret it could not have been for a longer period. We will look forward to seeing you again at some future time. Yours very truly, H.S. Keyes Vice President and Treasurer. HSKeyes/h | ||
