| (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gryl/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 20th January 1937. Maurice Wilks, Esq., The Rover Company Ltd., New Meteor Works, COVENTRY. Dear Mr. Wilks, Mr. Robotham has suggested you might be willing to let me have some cost figures of the gear wheels in your gearbox. We are at the moment investigating the cost per tooth of different varieties. If this would not be troubling you too much could I see you at Coventry one day next week, other than Wednesday ? Yours sincerely, | ||
