Dear Sir, Referring to the interview you gave to Mr. Scott yesterday. We received an order No. C.V.406 for an Argen Heater from your Derby Offices on the 3rd December 1920. Subsequent to the trial of this standard apparatus, your Works sent us a rear Silencer and Snout for us to fit a specially modified Heater. - (Your letter of advice 6th January, ref. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW2/IG). We returned this in February and we last heard on the 1st June that your Experimental Department had not been able to give a proper test on account of the weather not being suitable (your letter reference - DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/ST1/CB1-6-21). In the meantime, we have had to return a number of orders for our Heaters to be fitted to Rolls Royce cars, pending the approval of your Company. Yours faithfully, For the Receiver and Manager. aw Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Is this yours? Wi.
