Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. 1-B-50 Dear Sirs: Replying to your letter of the 11th instant, it will make no difference in which position the MOTOROLA Set is fitted, and as a matter of fact, we have fitted quite a large number of our sets in the rear of your cars, in co-operation with the bodybuilders, of course, and the usual practice is to put the Set on end inside a suitable cabinet, and a special control, which we supply, is fitted at the top of the cabinet, and to make the control drive run freely, it is advisable to cut the cables down to size. This arrangement is very satisfactory and quite straight-forward, and should you require a set with a suitable control, we shall be pleased to supply upon receipt of your instructions. Assuring you of our close co-operation. Yours faithfully, p.p. WORLD RADIO LIMITED. AHP/EM. P.S. We can supply from stock efficient under car Aerials, as a pair, which have proved very successful on the Rolls-Royce car. All contracts or agreements contained in this letter are contingent on Strikes, Accidents, Fires or any other causes beyond our control, and all contracts are subject to approval by the signature of a duly authorised executive officer of this company. Clerical errors subject to correction. Directors: R.{Sir Henry Royce} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Papelian (Armenian). Stephen Papelian. | ||
