YOUR REF: OUR REF: AH/R.{Sir Henry Royce} FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM April 20th.,1931. Messrs.Rolls Royce,Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of W.A.Robotham,Esq. Dear Mr.Robotham, I understand from Mr.Harris, of Harris-Leon-Laisne,that you made some investigations on his rubber suspension device. This was some time ago,and you suggested to Mr.Harris that he should get into touch with me. This he did,and we have since been co-operating with him to some extent. The possible exploitation of the invention is now under consideration,and I should appreciate having a little talk with you on the subject. If you are agreeable to discuss the matter,would it be convenient for me to see you at your works on Friday,about 10 o'clock? Yours faithfully, A Healey Technical Manager. | ||
