Mr. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Railton, the designer of these cars will confirm this, if the matter is of sufficient interest. We definitely appreciate your remarks re drum weights and the weights you have given us we can definitely adhere to. We are absolutely certain that we can satisfy you in every way and we sincerely trust you will agree to our requests. If you require us for a further discussion we will be more than pleased to come down. With many thanks. Yours faithfully, for NEW HUDSON LTD., [Signature] WORKS MANAGER. | ||
