| X4522 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}11/KW. 29th January, 1934. Messrs. Wilmot-Breeden, Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, BIRMINGHAM, 1. For attention Mr. Spicer. Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for sending us a Blue Print of the Stabilising Bumper to be fitted to our 20/25 HP. Car. We find that it is not at all convenient to have this Bumper fitted to the car which you had at Birmingham, and we have therefore another Car with an equal amount of Chassis front movement. Unfortunately this car is in great command daily, and we cannot possibly let you have it for a day. We therefore suggest that we collect the Bumper and fit it ourselves. We can then either run the car over to you for the tuning of the stabiliser, or you can send a man to Derby, whichever happens to be most convenient. However, if it is not convenient to send for this Bumper to-morrow afternoon, will you please 'phone as early as possible in the morning. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
