Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. 17th April 1935. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. West. WST Reverting to your letter to our Head Office, reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst 7/mA., in connection with the fitting of TCC. condensers we have been in communication with this firm and they advise us that they do not make 2.0 m.f. condensers having the dimensions 2" x 0.7". These dimensions apparently refer to a condenser of 0.2 m.f. They, however, inform us that they can supply a 2 m.f. condenser having the dimensions 4 1/2" x 1". Will you please confirm if this is the condenser that you have in mind for fitting to Roll-Royce Cars when our Car Radio is being fitted. Yours faithfully, PHILIPS LAMPS LIMITED.
