| X 1775 Exptl. Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW. 21st April, 1934. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Barclay, Esq., Messrs. Jack Barclay Ltd., 20, Conduit Street, London, W. Dear Mr. Barclay, Mr. Wood, who has been working in this Department for the last 2 or 3 years, now tells me that he is going to join you on the 1st of next month. As I previously told you, I don't know whether he will be any good as a Salesman, but we have certainly found him very reliable and industrious and he should have a very considerable technical knowledge of both the Bentley and Rolls-Royce chassis, as he has been on our road tests in France as well as doing test bed work. I hope therefore that you will find him very useful, particularly as the majority of your business is with Rolls-Royce and Bentley products. Yours sincerely, | ||
