| 1158 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 23rd February, 1939. C.W. Nichols, Esq., Messrs. S. Smith & Sons (Motor Accessories) Ltd., Cricklewood Works, LONDON. N.W.2. 1263 file Dear Mr. Nichols, Thank you for your letter of the 21st February. We note your remarks regarding the petrol tank, and as you know, we are contemplating changing our design in the immediate future. With regard to the heater, I discussed the matter of its manufacture with Mr. Steadman, who is now with Marstons, and he agreed that there was no reason why you should not make the unit, and they would supply the matrix. Under the circumstances, therefore, I suggest that your Mr. Grose contacts directly with Mr. Steadman, and if, at the conclusion of their discussion there any point which cannot be settled, I will clear it up. Yours sincerely, | ||
