W47/547/R.{Sir Henry Royce} Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited. Nightingale Road, DERBY. Attention - Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Royce. Buyer. Dear Sirs: We thank you for your valued Order No. 66591, and attach hereto our formal acknowledgment. We would mention, however, that we have now discontinued supplying the pairs of Undercar aerials, and we now supply a single 4-Bar type of aerial, which has a capacity equal in every way to the pairs, but of course, is much easier and quicker to fit. Under the circumstances, therefore, we have forwarded you today one of these single 4-Bar type Undercar Aerials. Please fit this Aerial on the nearside running-board, as far back from the engine as possible, and no doubt you have already received previous correspondence regarding using screened wire from dynamo to fuse-box for the field connection. Always at your service. Yours faithfully, p.p. WORLD RADIO LIMITED. AHP/EM.
