NEW METEOR WORKS: COVENTRY Your Ref 29th. December, 1936. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Herewith a blue print which I think shows most of the things you wanted to know about the layout of the back end of our chassis. I am sorry we have been so long producing this, but we had nothing which would have been at all intelligible to you and so had to get this sketch made up. Yours sincerely, THE ROVER COMPANY LIMITED.
