YOUR REF Expl.Dept.Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT OUR REF ES/SR 27th April 1931 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Dear Sirs, Further to my letter of the 13th inst., I am now in a position to inform you that Oberingenieur Puls will come over with the demonstration car in a few days time, and I shall be glad to hear from you whether the demonstration of the Maybach Gearbox will be convenient to you next week or the week after. Perhaps you will be good enough to let me know a date convenient to yourselves, which I shall confirm. I am extremely sorry that I have been unable to visit you earlier, but the Works have been so pressed with Business that Oberingenieur Puls was not able to leave for this country before now. Awaiting the favour of your reply, Yours faithfully, E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Schneider | ||
