| 1. assists the dissolution of carbon deposits, the bete noir of motoring. We may tell you, we have put our water carburettors under some very severe tests, and the results have really been astounding, a gain of 8 to 9 miles to the gallon has been achieved on each of the cars to which we have fitted this carburettor. What we should like to do would be to fit one of these water carburettors to one of your cars, as a trial so that you may judge the result yourself and if you will allow us to do this, we would be only too pleased to send one of our mechanics down to your house to fit same. It is a three hours job. The price of the carburettor is £8: 8: 0, plus the cost of flexible tubing and fitting. We should not, however ask you to purchase one of these carburettors until you had given it a thorough trial, when we have no doubt you will find, that economy in petrol consumption, freedom from carbonisation greater power and efficiency, about which we speak and which we have proved ourselves. Awaiting your esteemed reply with interest and assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, dear sir, Yours faithfully, GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
