| FILE 704 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/BAG/Dn 13th August 1 9 4 0. MYT H - Follett, Esq., Triplex Safety Glass Ltd, 1, Albermarle Street, Piccadilly, LONDON, W1. Dear Mr Follett, I understand that your Company have been supplying curved glass for back windows for use on production cars. If this is so, I should like to have particulars, and also to know how much the cost has been increased by the change from flat to curved. I am also given to understand that you can guarantee to curve the glass to a given shape. You will probably be surprised to hear from me from this part of the country, but you will see from the letter heading why I am in these parts. I am also not sure whether the above address will find you, as the last time I saw you in Coventry, you were dealing in aircraft supplies, I believe. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, | ||
