| Oy (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 22nd December, 1936. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley, Esq., Cadillac Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Oy., When are you coming over to England for good? E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} and I are contemplating making a short trip to the States towards the end of February with the idea of seeing how a P.III compares with the latest American productions under U.S.A. conditions. If you have not already started for England by the time we arrive in America you might enjoy pointing out the deficiencies of our product. I must say that we have made a vast difference to the car during the past 12 months, which is not surprising considering it was an entirely new product, as far as we were concerned, "from stem to stern", but the car in America will not be entirely up to date. Do not arrive in England later than May, if you can possibly help it, as you ought not to miss the Spring after being away for so long. Yours sincerely, | ||
