A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Rolls-Royce Ltd. Derby, England Dear Mr. Robotham; Your letter of January 15th has not been acknowledged heretofore, however, we took the necessary action upon its receipt to obtain the Stromberg Carburetor you requested. Mr. Chayne and Mr. Bower, Chief Engineer, considered it advisable to furnish, in addition to the Carburetor and Choke Assembly, an Intake Manifold and Cylinder Head. These items are being sent you on the S/S "American Banker" due to sail today. Your Mr. James E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Ellor telephoned yesterday inquiring about the Carburetor, but unfortunately he was connected with an individual in our organization unfamiliar with your request. I have endeavored to get in touch with him today in order to acquaint him with the foregoing information. In accordance with your request we will forward the invoice to you personally. We trust that the results you may obtain from this material will prove interesting and satisfactory. Very truly yours K.{Mr Kilner} K.{Mr Kilner} Hoagg | ||
