| 205 6th May 1937 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.7/AP. Messrs Hallam, Sleigh, & Cheston, Widney Works, Bagot Street, BIRMINGHAM 4 Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr.Booth You have, we believe already supplied us with two hinges for our Bentley bonnet, of the type shown on your drawing H.1021. We should like you to send us a further identical hinge and will today send you an official order for same. Whilst he was here, your Mr.Booth suggested that we took our bonnet top panels over to your Birmingham works in order to have their edges turned over to suit your hinge - the writer and Mr.Bowers of our Radiator and Bonnet Dept. would like to come over for this purpose soon after the Whitsuntide holidays. If you will let us have your Birmingham address and give us some idea of which day would suit you, we will make arrangements accordingly. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
