| 86753. Ha/Wst.9/MA. 11th July, 1934. Messrs.Philco Radio & Television Corporation of Great Britain Ltd., Aintree Road, Perivale, Greenford, Middlesex. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 10th instant reference FRH/RIR, referring to suppressors. In view of the special circumstances we see no reason why the SKC1160 hexagon fitting should not be approved and we suggest you go ahead with this scheme. We are anxious to equip one of our Trials Bentley Chassis with an up-to-date Philco Radio set. We shall be glad if you will kindly get in touch immediately with Mr.W.O.Bentley at our Conduit Street Offices with a view to equipping his car chassis No.2.B.IV. with a complete wireless installation. We understand you will carry this through without any necessary work being done at the coachbuilders but if there is anything further you wish us to do in the matter will you kindly communicate direct with us at the works here. Mr.Bentley is going on to the Continent in about a week or ten day's time and we hope it will be possible for you to equip his chassis in time for this continental tour. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
