| X114 Exptl. Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.28/JH. 4th November, 1936. Messrs. R.M. Papelian Ltd., Edgware Road, Cricklewood, London. N.W.2. Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 21st Oct. We note that you list several car heater models. We should like you to supply us with one suitable for a Phantom III car, bearing in mind that we want adequate performance for the minimum price and weight. We intend to test this out for performance against other makes of heaters and compare them for weight and price. As a result of our tests we shall probably order six heaters of the make which proves to be the best, and shall recommend that heater for use on our cars. As soon as you notify us as to the description of the heater which you are sending us we will send you an Official Order for same. We should like to receive this heater at the earliest possible moment. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
