Dear Sirs,

Some considerable time ago you very kindly supplied us with a small quantity of brown wax which we understand you use for impregnating condensers. We should be much obliged if you could give us particulars of the physical qualities of this wax particularly its melting point also whether you consider the impregnation of our ignition coil centre windings with this wax would have any deleterious affects.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
