| 1001 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} at W. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}2/AH.11.12.37. ------ Cornercroft Ltd., Queen Victoria Road, Coventry. ------ With reference to our telephone talk this morning, I confirm that when at Coventry yesterday, Mr. Rycroft and Mr. Corner showed Mr. Ward and I around their factory, where they produce, in addition to wheel discs, number plates and other car accessories, tools for Aircraft Manufacturers, such as, Hawker-Siddeley, Bristol people, A.V. Roe, etc., etc. They have a number of modern machines, some of which have come from Germany and Switzerland during the last few months. If, at any time, you are in Coventry and can spare the time they will be glad of the opportunity to show you round their factory. They will be equally glad to see anybody else from the works who might be interested. Although their works are small they seem to have some really good plant and are busy on Aircraft stuff. Hn.{F. C.
