OUR REF. ......CWW/GC. 22nd April, 1940. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, In reply to your letter of the 18th inst., you will appreciate that to give the information you require necessitates drawings and sketches. I was under the impression that the drawings and details appertaining to the rationalised bodies were of paramount importance, with a result that we have been concentrating on this work. In view of your recent request, however, I am arranging to stop one of the men on this work, in order that he can produce the necessary drawings in connection with the coupe, which I hope to let you have in the course of the next 3-4 days. Yours sincerely, for PARK WARD & CO LTD., [Signature] Works Director. | ||
