[Handwritten initials 'Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}'] W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd, DERBY Dear Mr. Robotham, With reference to your conversation with Mr. Fisher, I am trying to get details of the Hotchkiss pipe in France, and if successful will send them on as soon as possible. The "A.A" carburetter with the 42 mm. body is now being machined and I hope to let you have this in about a week or ten days. Unfortunately the first castings were not quite O.K and we have had to have a second lot made, but I can assure you that no time has been lost on the job. We are also working hard on the design of a single carburetter with twin floats like the "A.A". Trusting you are keeping well, and with kind regards, I remain, Yours sincerely, [Signature] TLT/GD. | ||
