| ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. X3806 Na{Mr Nadin}8B81628 August 16th, 1928. Mr. E.W. Hives, ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. Derby, England. Dear Hives, Further to my memo of August 6th, Na{Mr Nadin}1B8628, I attach below a clipping from a trade paper showing that Moon has adopted the Bijur System. The cars now so fitted are as follows:- 1. Rolls-Royce 2. Packard 3. Nash 4. Studebaker 5. Moon I think the adoption of this system of lubrication is as inevitable as the adoption of front wheel brakes, once its virtues become a little more widely known. Yours sincerely, Oho Radin.
