| Exptl. Dept. HA/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer};18/KW. 17th April, 1934. F.{Mr Friese} P. Illsley, Esq., The Illsley Company, 38, Piquette Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Mr. Illsley, Thank you for your letter of March 24th. We have tried out your closed radiation units and they have behaved very satisfactorily. Naturally, however, we want a good deal more experience with them before we can pass a comprehensive opinion. In any case, as I previously pointed out, they will have to be manufactured in England before we could consider fitting them to our car. In the meantime I am communicating with a firm I know to see whether they are considering manufacturing them, in view of your remarks. Thank you for the pamphlet on Glycol, which as you say is of considerable interest. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
