CHILDS Dear Sirs, We have been in recent correspondence with your Experimental Department in regard to Car Radio. We have given some thought to the matter of supplying your goodselves with a suitable Receiver and we have come to the conclusion that, bearing in mind the high standard of your requirements in conformity with the quality of your product, the best solution would be to design a Car Radio Receiver specially for you on the basis of the Set we are supplying to H.R.H. The Duke of Kent. Our Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Burns would like to discuss this matter with you in Derby, and will have pleasure in calling on you on Thursday next, the 3rd August, in the early afternoon. We will be glad to know it will be convenient for you to see him. Yours faithfully, per pro. MASTERADIO LTD, | ||
