| Rolls-Royce Ltd. Derby Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} (handwritten) Sr/GO7/AD/22.6.36. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Citroen front End Suspension Parts Further to memo Sr/GO8/AD/I7.6.36., I have now had a chance of communicating with Mr Parsons concerning above parts. I understand that he has written direct to you to the effect that right hand steering parts cannot be supplied before several months. I thought of approaching Mr Pierre Michelin personally on the matter, but as, in spite of my demand, Mr Parsons has not yet given me a list of the parts, I am afraid I can do nothing for the time being. However, if you wish me to tackle the job, please let me have details, and I shall do my utmost to help you. Sr. h (handwritten) | ||
