Messrs Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, We have your letter of April 29th asking for information on the Harrison Vee Radiator Core. Confidentially, it is true that we are contemplating the manufacture of this radiator core, but we had not contemplated manufacture for outside supplies. We see no reason why, in your case, we could not later consider this, but we are afraid that just at the present moment we could not make a definite decision on the matter, and if you care to do so perhaps you would raise the question again in some three or four months' time. At this moment we could not guarantee our being able to help you, but we will then be in a position to give the matter fuller consideration. Yours faithfully, for VAUXHALL MOTORS LIMITED, C.J. BARTLETT, Managing Director. | ||
