Dear Hives, I hope everything is going well with you, and that you are not so infernally busy as I know you have been recently. A short time ago I ran into Constantine now the Liaison Officer in Europe of General Motors, who told me he had recently been making an application for a British Patent in connection with a rather useful engine indicator, which might be of some interest to Rolls Royce Limited, and which he would be very glad to give them permission to use if they so desired. He has now sent me a copy of this application and an Application of Addition, and says in his letter that if it is of interest he would be very happy to make the necessary arrangements whereby they would be empowered to make up an apparatus for their own use under our British Patent. If therefore, the matter is of interest to you, would you write direct to him, on the matter. His address is 111, Grosvenor Road, London, S. W. 1. I am sailing for America on the 15th May, but do not expect to be away for very long, and shall hope to be able to come up to Derby, and see | ||
