| 1104 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 14th September, 1938. C. Kimber, Esq., The M.G. Car Company Ltd., ABINGDON-on-THAMES. Dear Mr. Kimber, Shall be very glad to see you at the Works either Thursday or Friday, September 29th or 30th to show you some of the things we are doing. The Aviation work at the moment is, of course, swathed in red tape, and unless you know someone at the Air Ministry it won't be possible to show you much of this side, but I do not expect you are particularly interested. I think that if you are watching the practising on Thursday, Friday (Sept. 30th) might be the best day for your visit. I shall hope to see some of the practising myself so that if you can get passes from Phillips it will save me the trouble. I will communicate with Rollason and let you know the result. Yours sincerely, P.S. If you bring one of your latest M.G's with you I should like to get some figures for it. | ||
