| X6094 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.6/AD. May 10th, 1932. Mr. E.A. Watson, Messrs. Joseph Lucas Ltd. Great King St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} , Birmingham. Dear Mr. Watson, Did you manage to discover anything about the valve you promised me? I am rather anxious to get hold of a valve rather quickly and I held up the purchasing of one until I heard from you. With regard to the Lucas equipment talked over with Mr. Thacker and yourself in connection with the Bentley, we should be glad if either Mr. Thacker or yourself could let us know how things are progressing, particularly the question of starter motors. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
