Smith & Sons (Motor Accessories) Ltd., Cricklewood Works, LONDON.N.W.2. For the attention of Mr. Nichols. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 18th inst. The writer expects to be in Cricklewood on Friday next July 1st. and hopes to have the pleasure of calling upon you about 2.30 if convenient to you. With regard to speed, we suggest that approximately one wipe per mile per hour, on top gear, appears to be a reasonable compromise. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
