| 1621 20th February, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.4/RH.{R. Hollingworth} Messrs. Wilmott Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, BIRMINGHAM, 1. For the Attention of Mr. H.J. Spicer. Dear Mr. Spicer, Confirming our telephone conversation of this morning, we wish to fit up the doors on the driving side of two cars with your stainless glass channelling, for which we should like you to supply us with two 3ft. lengths fitted into a chromium plated supporting channel, which will replace that already fitted and will be attached to the ventilator window. Also two lengths of stainless steel channelling to fix into the rear pillar of the driving door; these are to be in 3ft. lengths, the glass is 7/32" thick. We understand that there will be some delay owing to the material having been mislaid during transit, but if you will let us know what you can do about delivery at a later date, after you have made the necessary enquiries, we shall be obliged, as we are anxious to try out this particular type of channelling. Regarding our official orders for the parts that you have in hand for the Myth body; it was agreed that you would invoice these on sale or return. Wherever possible, we will send you our official order as soon as the design is settled. As you know, we shall be glad to receive any of the samples that you have in hand as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED, | ||
