YOUR REF. 20th September, 1935. W.A. ROBOTHAM, ESQ., Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Robotham, Many apologies for troubling you with another letter, but there are two questions I wanted to ask you which I stupidly omitted in my previous letter. The first was: I was most anxious to know if you had had any news as to how the 7.00-18 tyres we sent to France for trial purposes were doing; and whether you thought there was any possibility, if they had done well, of their being accepted as O.E. for that chassis. Secondly: I was very anxious to hear your opinion of the new P.W. All-steel body which you took to Austria. Again, many apologies for troubling you. Yours sincerely, Rothes- | ||
