| X1031. Expl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KT. November 5th. 1932, Mr.R.H.S.Buckle, Yardley Villa, Arnot Hill Road, Daybrook, Nottingham. Dear Sir, Mr.Maddocks of the Test Dept. has given me your name in connection with a vacancy which we have to offer for a tester in our experimental Dept. He pointed out that you would be unwilling to leave your existing position unless we were to offer you a position of permanency with prospects. If you consider it worth while we are prepared to give you a trial which if satisfactory would have definite prospects. Since you are at Nottingham perhaps you would like to come over and discuss the matter, and we shall be happy to see you any time if you will give us a day or two's notice. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
