Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GB.1/ET 6th November, 1940. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 30th ultimo, concerning the proposal for us to supply you with Experimental Light-weight 16 x 3.00 Wheels. Naturally, we shall be very pleased to have this opportunity, but in view of the complications which it will involve at the present time, we would like to suggest that our Mr.Aylward and Mr.Inglis take an opportunity of visiting you to discuss the whole matter. Mr.Inglis, who is our Chief Engineer, personally conducted all the experimental work with Messrs.Vauxhall Motors on these Light-weight wheels, and would therefore be in a position to go into the matter with you. If therefore you would be kind enough to suggest a date convenient to yourselves, we would make every arrangement to come into line. In view of the difficulties of travel these days, we would ask you to kindly give us as much notice as possible. Yours faithfully, KELSEY-HAYES WHEEL COMPANY LTD.. [Signature] General Manager.
