Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. HELSBY, NEAR WARRINGTON. PLEASE ADDRESS THE COMPANY AND REFER TO EAB. 8th. Feb., 1937. Dear Mr. West, I am very glad to hear that you are able to come to see us in Helsby some day next week, but I am sorry to say that I cannot see how it would be possible to make a semi-official meeting of it with representatives from Messrs. Lucas and the S.M.M.T. The reason for this is that it would seem like going behind the backs of our friends the other cable makers. I think you will see what I mean, but we can talk this matter over when we meet. I shall have to be in London on Wednesday the 17th. inst. and Thursday the 18th. inst. Would Tuesday the 16th. meet your requirements? Yours faithfully, British Insulated Cables Limited. Jesse L. Sankey Works Manager Helsby. | ||
