| 1378 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/ET. Park Leys, DUFFIELD, near Derby. 20th February, 1941. R.{Sir Henry Royce} TAYLOR, Esq., Moss House, Trafford Park, MANCHESTER. Dear Dick, Your letter under the "nom de plume" of Rolyat, published in "The Autocar" of Jan. 7th has created quite a stir and we have been asked to submit sufficient information for an article on E.R. Hall's Bentley to be published in this paper. There is a letter from Mr. Hampton in the issue of Feb. 14th, which quotes the Bugatti as being faster than the Bentley in the T.T. I would be much indebted to you if you would forward the attached letter to the Editor of the Autocar, under the name of Rolyat. Yours sincerely, | ||
