CreatorSwinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer
Date28 June 1921
DescriptionInforms he has delayed writing as to the outlook of Ricardo & Co Engineers Ltd., as he wishes to be more certain as to its prospects before saying anything very definite about it. Informs they are receiving a great deal of new business, making prospects for the Company much better than they were a few months ago. Hopes for profit this year as the previous year they made a considerable loss. States that the place is full of work and that if her son went to Ricardo, he would learn a great deal, due to all the assistants being exceedingly able people and carrying out a great number of experiments in a praise-worthy manner. Offers to ask Ricardo to make arrangements.
