WHEN REPLYING PLEASE REFER TO EAW/EE 27th April, 1934. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr.West, In reply to yours of the 23rd., I have had a chat with Mr.Neill, who, as you know, is handling the Trafficator developments. The Trafficator design is, at the moment, rather in the "melting pot" as we are getting out a new line of instruments and this really explains the delay in making up the special ones you asked for. I hope, however, that the position will soon have straightened out and we will then arrange to make up the samples you require. Yours sincerely, A.W. Watson | ||
