Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 28th May. I have been on to Hythe Road but although they have a distributor, they have not got one complete with governor, and as we rather suspect that it is the governor which is at fault, it does not seem likely to meet the case. Would it be possible to loan one from Derby? Yours sincerely, A Frazer Nash. A.{Mr Adams} FRAZER-NASH. AFN/JFN. | ||
