PLEASE QUOTE OUR REF. HRB/MS. 18th June 1937. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. H.E.West. Dear Sirs, With reference to previous correspondence, we are posting to you this afternoon two of the six Electric Clocks that we are producing for the Phantom III Chassis, for you to test. These will be invoiced to you by Messrs. Smiths, but the Writer thought that as these are samples, it would be better to despatch direct, to obviate unnecessary handling in sending them round to Cricklewood, and then despatching. Yours faithfully, For THE A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD. [Signature] HRB/MS Director & General Manager. 33 EX | ||
