HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}/24/KW To USA, Factory. 19th September 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Gentlemen, Brake Testers. We have had copy of your letter addressed to the American Weaver Co., Springfield, Illinois, together with copy reply to yourselves. Just recently we have installed an increasing number of these units, but perhaps what is more interesting is the trading results of the customers since installation. We would appreciate being able to send our Technical Engineer to meet you in Derby, when he will be in a position to thoroughly analyse the technical claims made for these units. We are arranging that he will have considerable data which he can leave with you, and we trust that we may have the favour of arranging this appointment. Our Engineer is available on Wednesday next and can be at your Works shortly after 2.- p.m. on that day. If you agree this arrangement we would be indebted to have your confirmation. At the same time we do wish to state that this will not be a sales talk but purely an engineering discussing on Brake Testing Equipment in general. Yours faithfully, For BRITISH WEAVER MFG. CO. LTD. (Signature of W. Gordon Ruggins) Managing Director P.S. We would value the favour of your immediate reply so as to make these arrangements. | ||
