| -2- this invention is not on the market at the present owing to our financial position. I am enclosing copies of reports on tests and testimonials received from various people who have tested and proved this invention to do all I state. The original testimonials can be produced at any time. The first test I think should interest you as it proves that a car can be run with a mixture of PETROL and WATER, the other tests and testimonials bearing out my statements that all I say of the powers of this adaptor are also true. Would you care to test this adaptor?, if so I shall be only too pleased to forward you a set and necessary instructions as regards fitting etc. by return. As I have said previously this invention is not on the market at the present due to our financial position, but I am not asking you for any financial aid, all I ask is that maybe you could see your way clear to test this adaptor and let me have your views on same in due course. If this matter is of no interest to you would you kindly return the enclosed correspondence. Yours faithfully Alfred. B. Milton | ||
