A. {Mr Adams} Robotham, Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Thanks for your letter of the 21st. August. I am surprised to learn that the various modifications we made in the 6.50/16 Tyre have not produced any changes in regard to squeal, according to your latest tests. I should certainly like to visit Derby to discuss these results with you. Mr. Dickson and I could call on you on Tuesday 2nd., Wednesday 3rd. or Thursday 4th. September. Provided our train is reasonably punctual, we should be at your works about mid-day. Kindly advise me which, if any, of these dates would suit you. Yours sincerely, J.G. Mackay | ||
