| X1305 Exptl. Dept. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.12/KW. 22nd May, 1935. Messrs. Zeiss Ikon Ltd., Mortimer House, 37-41, Mortimer Street, London, W.1. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 18th inst. We note that you consider good quality 1/4 plate enlargements are possible from 16 mm. film. This sounds quite suitable. We also thank you for your offer to send a representative here to take a sample film, but we are sorry you have no camera available at the moment. It may be a little difficult to fix up a date to suit everybody, so if you will let us know when a camera is available, we will get into touch with you directly a suitable opportunity arises. We presume the cost of a 100 ft. of film developed is approximately 30/-. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
