| V777 201 Broadway Pawtucket, R.I., U.S.A. April 28, 1930 Mr. Maurice Olley Midland Hotel, Derby, England. Dear Mr. Olley: Today I called you at Springfield and obtained the above address from Mr. Burton and I am taking the liberty of addressing you to learn of any developments that may have been made in connection with the automatic engine control. From an "Inventors' Sales Agency" I learn that an English patent no. 324,901 appears in my name in the Illustrated Official Journal of Patents. Their letter is of April 4th, 1930 although to date I have not received a copy of the patent which is doubtless in the hands of my attorney in Washington. Any information that you may feel at liberty to forward to me will be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, Warren F.{Mr Friese} Stanton To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}: Is anything being done? Ay May 9/30. | ||
