| Experimental Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT. Sept. 2nd 1933. The General Manager, The Ford Motor Company, Ltd., Dagenham, Essex. Dear Mr. Smith, I should like to thank you for the exceedingly nice day we had at your factory on Friday. It is most refreshing to find a company manufacturing automobiles in England who are anxious to tell other people what they are doing. The information you gave us on the Textolite timing gear will be most useful. I do hope we shall have the opportunity of entertaining some of the members of your staff at Derby before very long. Yours Sincerely, | ||
