SALES DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. 13th January, 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. Attention of Mr. W.A.Robotham. Dear Sirs, The writer regrets that owing to the fact that you were busily engaged when he had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Royce at your Works on Wednesday last it was not convenient to see you. We shall be glad to have your criticisms of the JACKALL Set which you very kindly allowed us to fit to your Phantom lll Chassis. As already explained by our Fitting Manager in his letter of the 6th January we should like to have had an opportunity of fitting the new brackets which were prepared but you were particularly anxious to have the return of the chassis. Perhaps you will suggest a convenient appointment when the exchange can be effected? Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (Motor Accessories) LTD., [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR. | ||
