THE BRISTOL AEROPLANE COMPANY LTD SIR G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} STANLEY WHITE, BT{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} (MANAGING DIRECTOR.) FILTON HOUSE, BRISTOL, ENG. Your Ref. Our Ref. ENGINES F/HCM-2. 1st December 1934. W.A.Robotham Esq, Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd, Derby. My dear Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 30th ultimo, reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW, which I found awaiting me on my return from the Paris Salon. I am very glad to hear that you think the various points have been cured on the car. With regard to lamps, horns, and instruments, I should be glad to try the existing ones again, if you think they could be made satisfactory; they have never been so on my car. Perhaps you would get your people to carefully adjust the horns, and set the lamps, as you think they should be, before redelivery of the car. I would far rather you kept the car another week, and had everything all right. I have borrowed a car, and am not really expecting my Bentley car back until about the 10th or 11th. Many thanks, Yours sincerely, A.H.R.Fedden. | ||
