| ANDRÉ DUBONNET 33, RUE DES GRAVIERS (114, BOULEVARD MAURICE-BARRÈS) NEUILLY TÉL. MAILLOT 19-96 LES See me #HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} August 14th, 1934. Mr. Hives Rolls Royce, Ltd. DERBY. Dear Mr. Hives, Mr. Sleator has communicated your letter to me concerning the order you have given me for the Dubonnet Suspension for your 25 H.P. Rolls Royce. All parts with the following numbers-- 3525 - 3526 - 3529 - 3530 - 3559 - 3566 - 3567 - 3569 - 3570 --- I should like to have as quickly as possible in order to enable me to set up the suspension. Could you please let me know in what steel you have made pieces 3525 - 3526 - and 3529 - 3530. Concerning Drawing 3571, I should like to know if you are sending the car with the front axle fixed to the chassis, in which case you could send the chassis with body. If, on the other hand, the front axle is not fixed to the chassis, it would be necessary to deliver me the chassis without body in order to permit the setting up. I much prefer if you could send it to me with the front axle fixed to the chassis and fitted with a body as I would be certain of returning you the car much more rapidly than otherwise. Yours faithfully, A. {Mr Adams} Dubonnet 2. 4.30 4. 10.30 | ||
