Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 23rd inst., which clears up the position as regards the bearing rig which you have been using for testing AC. bearings. I hope to be in Derby at the end of the present week or the commencement of next week and no doubt I shall be able to discuss this proposition further either with your goodself or Mr. Salt. If it really seems a worth while proposition it certainly may be an advantage for us to have it down here but we will discuss this matter more fully when I come to Derby. Yours sincerely, [Illegible Signature] | ||
