N.R. Chandler Esq.,
Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited,
Derby.

[Handwritten: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} OK ? please]
Dear Mr. Chandler,

Your letter of the 7th instant has been passed on to me by Mr. Longley, and I would say we are very interested in its contents.

We shall certainly be very pleased to see you here, and suggest that Wednesday or Thursday next, the 13th or 14th instant, will be quite convenient to us. If you bring the clutch plates along with you, we can carry out a joint examination.

With regard to the last paragraph of your letter, we are going into the question of the S.7732 facing for either a Bentley clutch or a 25/30 model and will report to you when you call here. I do not think there will be the slightest difficulty in making these facings.

Perhaps you will drop a line tomorrow informing us when to expect you.

Yours faithfully,
FERODO LIMITED.

N.E.Shilton
Technical Department.
