X290 Dear Sirs, We beg to draw your attention to what we think is the simplest and easiest method of removing & replacing the valves of motor engines. You will see the advantage at once by the enclosed which we make for Ford Cars & should esteem it a favour if you could give us an order applying this idea to Rolls Royce as the first of British cars. If you would kindly fill in figs: A.B.C & D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} on diagram attached, we would submit a sample Joy valve spring support for your inspection. Trusting our request will receive your favourable consideration. Yours faithfully, for the Joy Supply. P. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Swinhoe To Messrs. Rolls Royce. 16. Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} W.1.
