MANCHESTER. 10. 26th October, 1938. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Your Ref Our Ref GAH/LL. 6153 For the attention of Mr. Child. Dear Sirs, With reference to our Car Radio that has recently been fitted on your experimental car and also in connection with Mr. Child's recent visit to the Motor Exhibition in London, Mr. Child raised the point whether it would be possible for us to increase the bass response on the speaker. After consultation with our engineers I find that this will be possible and we are now taking steps to do this. As soon as we have something ready I will get in touch with you again so that this modification can be made to the set installed in your car and you can then let us have your further opinion on this point. If you have any further comments to make about this matter I shall be very pleased to hear from you so that we can collaborate to make the necessary modifications. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD.
