Mr.C.W.Nichols,
Messrs.S.Smith & Sons Ltd.,
Cricklewood Works,
London, N.W.2.

Dear Mr.Nichols,

I hope you arrived home safely and found your way through Nuneaton etc. Your car certainly reflects a creditably good effort, and I think you have made a very wise choice as regards the body!

Regarding the Philco Wireless set fitted to your car I should be very interested if you would keep me in touch with any trouble that may occur due to interference from the chassis and shall be particularly interested to know if you can get the dynamo voltage regulator screened from interference with the set. Ask Philco's to get into touch with me on the question

I should also be interested to know whether you experienced any trouble with ignition, i.e. misfiring due to the use of suppressors on your sparking plugs.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
