| X4522 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}18/KW. 25th January, 1934. Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, BIRMINGHAM. For attention Mr. Spicer. Dear Sirs, Re. Bumper for Eliminating Radiator Movement. We beg to thank you for your letter HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AM.24.1.34, and note that the Bumper is now ready for fitting to the 20/25 HP. Car. The Writer 'phoned you this afternoon, but unfortunately you were not available. However, we spoke to your Mr. Smith, and confirm our conversation herewith. It is impossible to bring the car over to-morrow, Friday 26th, as the car is in London, and we do not yet know when it will be convenient to have it. We will, however, get in touch with our London Department, and notify you as soon as possible the day it will be convenient. In our last letter we asked you for the scheme and dimensions of the Bumper fitting, in order that we can have a new front apron made to fit. It is essential to us that this apron is ready to fit to the car, as it will be returned to London almost immediately after the Bumper is fitted. Will you therefore let us have the drawing and dimensions as soon as possible. We note that you will require the car first thing on the morning of delivery and we will see that it is at your Works at 9 a.m. Thanking you for an early reply, Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
