CWW/JMW 12th September, 1939. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I wish to thank you for kindly recommending our facilities for the manufacture of truck bodies to Messrs. Vauxhall Motors Ltd., from whom we have just received a communication. Unfortunately, however, they are unable to pass any work to us immediately, but they have promised to bear us in mind should the occasion arise. We need hardly remind you, of course, that we are fully equipped to undertake a wide range of work necessitating the use of both steel and aluminium for the production of component parts, light pressings and panelling etc. With renewed thanks for your kind endeavours on our behalf. Yours sincerely, DIRECTOR. | ||
