DBB/DJG Your Ref. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.7/MH.{M. Huckerby} 18th October, 1938. Noted RWS/STD Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. For the Attention of Mr. A.{Mr Adams} S. Steadman. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of the 12th instant on the subject of Motors and other parts for making up three Car Heaters, we would like to inform you that these special Motors with longer spindles are being prepared, although the two slower speed ones running at a nominal 1950 R.P.M. are having to be specially wound. Everything is being done, however, to hurry the job along, and we will communicate with you directly we know just what spigot diameter will be the most satisfactory for the bearing bosses of the Motors. The undersigned understands that Mr. Steadman is likely to be at Earl's Court on Friday, and would be very glad if he could make an appointment with him at our Stand at any time suitable to Mr. Steadman. We should be very glad to hear from you on this point as unless a definite time is stated it is quite difficult to ensure meeting at the Motor Show, and we should very much like to have the opportunity afforded of discussing the Heater question in further detail. Yours faithfully, THE AC-SPHINX SPARKING PLUG CO. LTD. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} BENNION BROWNE, Chief Engineer.
