| 1021 30th March, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.3/ET. S.J. ROBERTS, Esq., 21, Warwick Road, COVENTRY. Dear Jeph, Have you a section of carpet retainer near to the dimensions shown on the enclosed blue print? We are wanting sufficient for one body and I am under the impression that you were making something similar before the war started. We shall want it finished in chrome. I hope this will find you well and still busy. I have heard nothing of you since the blitz, but I hope that both you and your Works have escaped any trouble. Do not forget that any time you are in this district, we shall be pleased to see you. Kind regards to your wife and yourself, Yours sincerely, P.S. If you have any short lengths of sections which you have been rolling and care to send them along as samples, they will probably be useful to me for reference. | ||
