Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Rowledge. You will no doubt be interested in our superfine grade Hivoltsit Varnished Insulating Sleeving, for covering Automobile cables, and we have much pleasure in enclosing herewith a sample of 8 m/m i/dia. to show you the very high quality and finish which we offer. Amongst other automobile manufacturers, we should like to say that the Daimler Co., have adopted our sleeving as a standard, after satisfying themselves as to the quality, from tests made. At the same time we have much pleasure in enclosing our latest price list covering all sizes up to 30 m/m i/dia. and shall be very glad indeed to be favoured with a trial order from you. As we understand you manufacture the majority of the electrical equipment fitted to your Rolls Royce Cars, you will no doubt be interested, in some of our high grade insulating materials, included upon the enclosed buff leaflet, and we shall be very pleased indeed to forward samples together with prices, upon application. In case you are users of enamelled copper wire, we would point out that we are the sole agents in this country for the celebrated Beldenamel Copper Wire, and the enclosed booklets will no doubt interest you. Yours faithfully, THE STANDARD INSULATOR COMPANY LD (STAMP: NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN) | ||
