Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.2/MH.{M. Huckerby}

Messrs, J.Lucas Ltd.,
Great King Street,
BIRMINGHAM, 19.

26th. March 1938.

For the attention of Mr.Robertson.

Dear Sirs,

You may recollect that a considerable time ago the writer visited your works in company with our Mr.F.Dodd and Mr.G.Ratcliffe primarily in order to examine and discuss your cold chamber. At the same time the question of car heaters and car heater motors was mentioned and Mr.Robertson supplied the writer with a small motor which he thought was suitable for driving a car heater.

Would you be good enough to let us know the official description of this motor and also let us have a figure for its cost in lots of 1000.

We should be also interested to know whether you are contemplating marketing a car heater complete or any similar equipment.

Yours faithfully,

for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
