Come on people,  were talking CEO's here.  So it's possible that 
following his initial drive, Lord Rootes had his executive secretary 
attempt to place a call to Mr. Ford, who happened to be cruising in 
the Mediterranean.  This is long before the days of cell phones and 
somehow, they made some level of connection.  I think a simple "I'd 
like to buy some of your engines" followed by some level of agreement 
was about the extent of the conversation with the exception of 
perhaps how  Mr. Ford was enjoying the cruse.  I think "I'll have my 
people call your people" was the realistic limit of the technical exchange.
