Smith & Sons for the loan of a Rolls-Royce instrument patch for exhibition at Olympia. It was decided at the time to leave this matter in abeyance, particularly as it was then thought that the finish of the patch was not good enough for exhibiting in this manner. "Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}" stated that we should probably have come to an arrangement with Smith's for much better finish dials in order that we might produce the very best possible sample for Olympia. Will you please say if you are now satisfied with the patch which is being produced and if we can arrange for it to be supplied to S. Smith & Sons. D/BP | ||
