Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Les For the attention of Mr. Leslie. Dear Mr. Leslie, Mr. Breeden has asked me to acknowledge your letter of the 15th inst. and to say that he will be very pleased indeed to see you on Friday, 25th inst. Would it be convenient to you to arrive at Camden Street about half-past twelve so that Mr. Breeden could take you down to our Tyseley Works directly after lunch ? In regard to the question of eye-rolls; I am personally of the opinion that we should give you a 2" diameter eye roll since you think that our 2¼" diameter is too large. I feel sure that the 1¾" diameter will appear far too small for your car. I will endeavour to have a sample eye roll ready for you to see when you come on Friday and will have it fitted up with end caps of the type that we propose using. I will be able to show you the sample at Camden Street as soon as you arrive. I will also have the bar fitted with the type of Over-rider that you consider most suitable. Yours faithfully, FOR WILMOT-BREEDEN LTD. C. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Stephenson NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF BUMPERS IN EUROPE | ||
