C. Bowring}] 24th January 1934. Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., Exptl. Dept. DERBY. Dear Sirs, With reference to the Bumper for the Rolls Royce car sent down to these Works, we have pleasure in stating that this Bumper is ready for tuning up to the car. We shall be extremely obliged if you will let us know when it will be possible to let us have the car down here for the necessary tuning to be carried out. The day suitable to us would be Friday of this week the 26th inst. We should like the car as early in the morning as possible, as we like to do this job in as much daylight as we possibly can, owing to the observations of the effect of the stabiliser being noted. If this date does not meet with your approval I shall be extremely obliged if you will give the writer a ring. We remain, Yours faithfully, For WILMOT-BREEDEN LTD. [Signature] Technical Engineer. LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF BUMPERS IN EUROPE. | ||
