S.1.

21st December, 1937.

W.A.Robotham, Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Mr.Robotham,

Re: COMBINED THERMOMETER - OIL GAUGE.

Referring to our several conversations, in consideration of the new cheaper design of case and the fact that we are to be allowed to modify the instrument, also that in future your limits will be less exacting, we are prepared to reduce the price of this instrument to 20/-d - subject, of course, to your hundred percent standardisation business. ok

We understand from the telephonic conversation which the writer had the pleasure of having with you this morning that it is in order to proceed with production.

With heartiest season's greetings.

Sincerely yours,

Charles W.hrieichs.

P.S.
I am glad to learn that you hope to favour us with a visit soon after the Christmas holiday, and look forward to hearing the proposed date.
