OUR REF M/5. 18th February 1930. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Fowler Clark, Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Fowler Clark, I have yours of the 17th inst. re points and I do not know quite what I can say to you except one further piece of bad news, and that is that I saw last night for the first time one of the owners of the other three cars and I mentioned to him this question of points and said how lucky he was not have any trouble. He said that if I had been told he had no trouble I was misinformed and that he had continuous trouble, it was his third 20 H.P. car and he had had nothing but trouble with all three cars. Yours sincerely, GRNMinchin | ||
