Dear Sirs, In reply to Mr. Thompson's letter of the 7th inst. re door locks. We are not entirely satisfied with the lock fitted to our car, but yesterday Mr. Smye of Wilmot Breedon called and showed us a similar lock of much improved design internally. Wilmot-Breeden have promised to let us have one of these locks in 2 weeks in exchange for the one already fitted, and we will let you have our impressions later. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
