A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y Dear Mr. Robotham, I am sorry to inform you that I have just heard from the States that they have no Twin Updraught carburetters. They say they have tried to make up one from various pieces, but have not been successful and greatly regret they are not able to let you have a sample carburetter for test. I hope therefore that one of the Twin models we have would answer your purpose. I remain, Yours sincerely, [Signature] TLT/GD. | ||
