H.G.West Esquire, Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd. DERBY. January Twenty-fifth 1 9 3 5. Dear Mr.West, I have first of all to thank you for so very courteously making a fresh appointment with me yesterday afternoon. I found my way back all right but thought I should run out of petrol at Watling Street as I never realised how the petrol pump owners in that neighbourhood go to bed so early! The weight of the HMV radio set is as follows:- Receiver unit ... 11 lbs. Power pack and speaker unit ... 13¼ lbs. May I confirm my promise that we should obviously do anything we can to supply a set or sets for you to experiment with and I do hope you will not forget the suggestion that you might some time or other - not too far ahead - look me up in Town and let me run you down to our factories at Hayes. Yours very truly, (Richard Haigh) Manager, English Branch THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY LIMITED | ||
