Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Robotham, Chassis 6-B-IV. You will remember that we have mounted an experimental body on the above chassis, and the car is being taken over by you on Friday morning from our Works here. The purport of this letter is to say that we view the test as important in regard to the actual construction of the body - in other words, such things as trimming, furnishing, painting, etc. are not under serious review in this instance, as that work was somewhat rushed in the brief time during which we have had the chassis. When your tests have been completed, it is our intention to completely strip down the body for a minute inspection of the effects of the test. Yours sincerely, [Signature] DIRECTOR & SECRETARY. | ||
