SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 6th January, 1936. H.E.West, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear West, Further in reference to our chat on Friday, I have now had an opportunity of investigating the Electric type Speedometer with recorder and find that, although quite a lot of progress has been made our model is not sufficiently forward to enable us to let you have a sample. This is a necessarily tedious job I am afraid and, perhaps, next time you visit us we can pursue the matter further with your kind permission. Yours very truly, (Signature) SALES DIRECTOR. | ||
