SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 11th October 1933 H.E.West, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ld, DERBY. Dear Mr.West, Thanks for yours of the 10th instant Ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. 3/MA, and for so kindly arranging to send along the 20/25 HP Instrument Patch - which courtesy is much appreciated. I note that you hope to see us at Olympia on Thursday and in the morning of that day - visiting A.T's; I understand that Mr.Buckland has made arrangements to meet you. Although progress in the manufacture of the new instrument is necessarily slow, I think you will be satisfied with the headway we are making. In any case, I assure you that everything possible is being done to produce an instrument which conforms with your requirements - in the shortest possible space of time. Sincerely yours, | ||
