LETTER RECEIVED FROM MA. J. M. THOMAS
MANAGING DIRECTOR - RANK XEROX

I understand that you are off to the Far East shortly and that
Her Royal Highness will be opening the British Industrial Exhibition
on the 23rd October. Co-incidental with the start of the Exhibition
we shall be opening the first 400 Telecopier link between England and HongKong. This link will be with the Exhibition and in particular
we shall be showing the 400 Telecopier for the first time in the Far East.
The Telecopier sends copies of documents over the ordinary telephone line. To mark the occasion we would very much like to send a message to
Princess Alexandra while she is visiting the Exhibition. I thought it
would be appropriate if we send a message from your children or
perhaps their Nanny. This facsimile transmission will be an historic
occasion in the field of telecommunications and I hope that you will be
agreeable to record it in this way.
