Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}5/R CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND. IN REPLY PLEASE QUOTE....CCM/FB 11th March, 1937. Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr S.H. Grylls. Many thanks for your letter of 10th March. Certainly we will have the sideways accelerometer ready for you on Saturday afternoon. I think, however, it would be safer not to send it to West Road but to keep it at our caretaker's house, 22, Carlyle Road, which is the side turning alongside our Works opposite the Jesus footbridge. If you could let us know what time you will call for it, I will have our Mr Stallan on the spot at 22, Carlyle Road, to explain the instrument to you and he would like to hear if you think it likely to meet your requirements. Yours faithfully, CAMBRIDGE INSTRUMENT COMPANY LTD. [Signature] Joint Managing Director. | ||
