Your Ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/MA. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of H.E.West Esq., Dear Mr.West, Thank you for your letter of the 31st ult., We are pleased to note that you have decided to fit the EKCO Car Radio Equipment to one of your experimental cars, the body of which is now being prepared at Messrs.Park Ward's. We thank you for the covering order which has been received. We note that you wish to have the speaker mounted behind the rear seats facing to the roof. This should be an interesting experiment and should be very effective if the absorption is not too great. We were at Messrs.Park Ward's last week and spoke to them about this, and they are communicating with us later when the body is a little more advanced. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of E.K.Cole Ltd., (Signature of Rex I Cowley) CAR RADIO ENGINEER.
