Messrs Barker & Co. Ltd. Olaf St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Latimer Road. LONDON. W. 11. Dear Sirs, 16-G-4. CLOSE COUPLED ALL-WEATHER FOR MR. ROYCE. Would you kindly tell us now exactly what day we can send our lorry to fetch this body complete with wings and materials for the stepboards, and paint for painting the wings, as already instructed. No instrument board should be provided: this will be made at Derby. Would you supply us with a piece of walnut from which to enable us to cut the board. We agree to the Bosch screen wiper being used as a single wiper. We think the body of it should be sprayed dark grey. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS ROYCE LTD.
