Dictated 15th Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Your Ref. Our Ref. GAH/LL. EXPERIMENTAL DEPT. For the attention of Mr. Robotham. Dear Sir, Many thanks for your letter of August 11th re the single-unit Car Radio Set and the types of units you are most interested in. We were very interested to have your views re roof aerials and we shall be very pleased to give you the benefit of any knowledge we may have. I do feel that to do this matter properly we should meet and discuss the whole position but as you are no doubt aware the Olympia Radio Exhibition starts on Wednesday, August 23rd, until September 2nd, and between now and August 23rd I am extremely busy testing new models and getting samples ready for the Exhibition, so that, at the moment, I cannot possibly fit in a visit to Derby. I am therefore enclosing two tickets for the Exhibition and if you can find the time to visit us any time during that period we shall be very pleased indeed to see you. If, however, you cannot make it convenient to visit the Exhibition I will write to you again as soon as it is over and make an appointment with you at Derby. Hoping to see you at the Exhibition. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} A.{Mr Adams} Hall Car Radio Sales & Production Manager. Ah. | ||
