Gentlemen,

We understand that you are supplying a special aluminium alloy for the bearings of the Bentley car and we wonder if you would kindly supply our laboratory with a few small specimens of this alloy.

If possible we should like thin pieces of about 1" x 1" or, alternatively, we could use a complete bearing.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

GERM LUBRICANTS LTD.,

signed:- J.E.SOUTHCOMBE.

Director.
