RADIO DEPARTMENT OUR REF..... REG/DK. YOUR REF.... Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/MA 19th October, 1934. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. for the attention of H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West, Esq. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 18th instant regarding car-radio. We regret that at the moment it is rather awkward for us to give a demonstration in Derby. Would it be possible for you to depute one of your London people to undertake the test? The writer is unable, at the present time, to fix a complete day away from London, and we do hope you will understand. We shall, of course, be very pleased to give you a demonstra-tion in Derby later on, if you feel prepared to wait a short time. Yours faithfully, PHILIPS LAMPS LIMITED.
