| V328 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}19/KW. 6th December, 1935. Reid A.{Mr Adams} Railton, Esq., Messrs. Thomson & Taylor (Brooklands) Ltd., Brooklands Track, Byfleet, Surrey. Dear Railton, Very many thanks for your letter of Dec. 5th, together with the information from Hudson's which is most useful. We are not really in a position to give you a fair impression of the 12-cylinder car just at the moment. We are so short of chassis in view of the fact that experimental cars are being used for demonstration work, that we have nothing representative. We shall be more happily situated in the New Year, and furthermore if you could come for a day then, Grylls will also have returned from America and might be able to give you some useful information. I return the letter from Hudson's herewith. Yours sincerely, | ||
