Strong} GEORGE'S WORKS, ICKNIELD STREET, BIRMINGHAM, 18. Sole Manufacturers of THE GIRLING UNIVERSAL BRAKE. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, Experimental Department. Re GIRLING BRAKE. With further reference to your letter of the 14th February, we should like to ask, if the time is now opportune for you to send us a Chassis for us to fit up with the GIRLING BRAKING System, free of all charge to your goodselves ? Kindly rest assured, we would not keep the Chassis long; it would be less than a matter of 3 weeks. There is no question that we can save you money, and at the same time, give you the Finest Mechanical Braking System in the country. As no doubt you are aware, we went to the Show last year, with only 2 Car Manufacturers, Messrs. Rover, and Lagonda. There is no question of doubt, that this year we will have at least 10, and possibly 12, Car Manufacturers of the very highest repute. Surely, this must interest you ? Hoping to hear from you, within the course of a post or two. Yours faithfully, For NEW-HUDSON, LTD. Alex Fraser WORKS MANAGER. | ||
