RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.{Sir Henry Royce} (Handwritten) GRY.{Shadwell Grylls} Please note (Handwritten) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3rd February, 1938. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Robotham, I am very pleased that you have written me regarding the price position on the new 6.50/17 tyres for the Bentley. I note all you say regarding competition. I will certainly take the matter up with our Sales Department as soon as possible with a view to reconsideration of the quotation. I also would be very sorry to see the Bentley business pass to another firm not only from the standpoint of prestige loss to our Company but also on the score that we have worked so closely and amicably together. Yours faithfully, INDIA TYRE & RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED. (Handwritten Signature) Paul hmett. Works Manager. | ||
