Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr.West. Dear Mr.West, Confirming our conversation with you at Messrs.Hoopers on Monday, we are arranging to complete the Show Exhibit in co-operation with Messrs.Hoopers and making the necessary detail modifications as decided in our discussion. We have allocated one of our pre-production direct control models for your personal experimental work at Derby, and will let you have this immediately after the Show. With regard to the weight question, particularly in connection with Bentley cars, we are going into the question of a model of reduced weight and should be able to give you some information on this at the same time. We are very grateful to you for the assistance you have given us in connection with this display model, and look forward to the pleasure of seeing you at our Works one day during the Show, on a day to be fixed later, other than Wednesday, as you suggest. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of E.K.Cole Ltd., Rex Powley CAR RADIO ENGINEER. IMPORTANT NOTICE.
