| 1245. W/P. Sr. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}6/R.9.4.37. Sr/CrnI/7.4.37. Many thanks for your letter concerning the invention of M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Giraud. Even my knowledge of French tells me his letter gives nothing away. I do not, however, feel equal to replying to him. I am wondering, therefore, whether you could obtain a patent specification, or a des- cription of the invention, or even better, a Trial run on a car fitted with it; we usually find when we ask for the latter that the invention is no good.
