| 1/28 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 23rd February, 1939. H.R. Ricardo, Esq., Bridge Works, SHOREHAM-by-SEA. Dear Ricardo, I should like to come and see you on Monday next, the 27th instant, if this is convenient, to discuss the respective merits of direct injection diesels and the ante-chamber type. I should like to bring two of my assistants with me. We should expect to arrive about 1.0'clock if we make an early start. If this is inconvenient I should be grateful if you would send me a telegram to this effect on Saturday morning. I expect to be away for the rest of the week, but should it be inconvenient for you to see us on Monday, I hope to be able to arrange a visit when I return. Yours sincerely, | ||
