Telephone 4483 1021 "Sylviadale," 42, Warwick Avenue, Earlsdon, Coventry. Dear Mr. Robotham, Yesterday I visited Mr. Ward & discussed the new project, & we agreed that it would be very difficult to give for more information than I have already given in my report of two years ago. Before anything definite in the way of cost, equipment, & space required, can be arrived at, it is necessary that the designs, type of construction, & qualities of materials to be used should be decided. I suggest that a meeting of the people interested would be very helpful as a preliminary. Mr Ward is writing to you on the matter & if you will let me know what you would like, I will endeavour to fall in with your wishes. Yours Faithfully L F R Fell P.S. I thought of going to Derby to see you but shortage of petrol prevented me. | ||
