NOTTINGHAM. 4th February/30 19.. SEK/IC/...........L.C.1.... D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Messrs. Rolls Royce. Ltd., Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, X. 7561. CONCORD "HERCULACKER" CABLES. X 7560. We desire to bring to your notice an entirely new development in Cellulose Lacquer Cables - which we think you will agree - after inspection of the enclosed sample - is far superior to any of its type now on the Market. The great feature - as you will be able to prove - is the wonderful flexibility of the lacquer, together with the highly polished finish. It does not age, hence the lacquer remains the same for practically an indefinite period. It is appealing to Motor Car Manufacturers for Car Lighting Cables, and particularly for High Tension Cables, as the lacquer is impervious to water, is proof against oil, petrol and dilute acids. Furthermore, besides its insulating properties, it is air-sealing, and prevents ionisation attacking the rubber. We are producing this in eight colours; this fact will be particularly interesting to manufacturers of multi cylinder engines, insomuch as a different coloured lead can be used for distinguishing purposes. We shall be happy to arrange for our representative to call upon you in connection with this matter, or alternatively, to furnish you with further particulars, samples or prices. Thanking you in anticipation of your interest, and assuring you of our best CONCORDIA ELECTRIC WIRE COMPANY LTD. times. Yours faithfully, [Signature] SALES MANAGER.
