Rolls-Royce, Limited, Derby. --------------------------- Dear Robotham, In your experience on the thermostats for the cooling system, have you come across a manufacturer who can be relied upon to produce an element accurately to the required specification? If so, I should be most grateful if you would let me know of them. I refer to the Aneroid bellows type. I have changed my mind since I saw you and have decided to take ten days at Davos at the end of this month. What about taking a long weekend at the beginning of February? All the best for 1937. Yours sincerely, [Signature of Reid A.{Mr Adams} Railton] [Handwritten note: Negretti & Zambra.] [Handwritten top right: 1328] [Handwritten next to address: +200.] DIRECTORS: KENNETH J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} THOMSON, G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} H.{Arthur M.
