DAGENHAM, ESSEX. W. A. {Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. My dear Robotham, I have been trying ever since my coming to England, to pay you all a visit at Derby but up to the present time this does not seem to have been possible. I will, however, be very glad to get in touch with you by telephone within the next week or ten days, and run over to Derby for a few hours. Following this I think it would be very nice to have Hives and yourself take a run down to Dagenham where I could explain a little more in detail some of the ideas which I might suggest for improving your production and price of steel bodies. With kindest regards, I am, Yours very truly, WH Manning | ||
