For the attention of Mr. Spicer.

Dear Mr. Spicer,

Confirming our telephone conversation of this morning, the locking handle will be in the front door on the passenger side, the door being hinged on the centre pillar.

Since telephoning you, in addition to the slide of the window regulator fouling the clench nuts, there is a possibility that it may also foul the large gear wheel when the glass is in its last position. As the drawing is not dimensioned, it is difficult for us to say that it does definitely foul.

We mention this so that you can arrange for your people to look into the matter.

Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE, LTD.,
