| COPY - for Mr. W.A.Robotham, Rolls Royce Ltd. ---------- From:- Leyland Motors Ltd. LEYLAND. Lancs. To:- High Duty Alloys Ltd. Buckingham Avenue, Trading Estate, SLOUGH. Bucks. Ref:- CCH/EL. Laboratory. 14th September, 1937. (Dict.13th) For the attention of W.C.Devereux, Esq., Dear Sirs, NEW ALUMINIUM ALLOY BEARING METAL. Replying to your letter of the 2nd September, in which you stated that you were leaving immediately for the Continent, and would not be back until the 16th instant, but would then be in a position to go further into the matter of our being supplied with some of this alloy, we regret that it will not be possible for Mr. Pilkington to meet you at Rolls Royce Limited, as he himself will be out of the country for about six weeks from the date of your return. Will you please, therefore, leave the matter in abeyance for a short time, so that other arrangements can be made, and we shall then write you again, offering an alternative suggestion in connection with the proposed visit to the Rolls Royce Company. Yours faithfully, p.p. LEYLAND MOTORS LIMITED. (signed for) V.W.Pilkington. CHIEF ENGINEER. | ||
