Dear Sirs, We were pleased to have your letter of the 24th instant together with your print ECD.745. We note that the previous correspondence was addressed to Burgess Products Co.,Ltd., Bush House, London W.C.2., but as our London Office has been transferred to Thames House, Millbank, London, S.W.1., this correspondence will no doubt be returned to you in due course. As requested we are asking our London Office Staff to treat all matters relating to your new models as strictly confidential. We find that we have not complete details of your new 25/30 H.P. model and it would assist us considerably if you could let us know the bore and stroke, compression ratio, brake H.P and normal and maximum r.p.m. of this engine. Immediately this information is received we will design and submit a preliminary experimental exhaust system. Yours faithfully, BURGESS PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED.
