| [strikethrough] X3455 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} -------------------- ROY{Sir Henry Royce}17/MG19.4.26 I wonder if you could now arrange to test out the Hillman Fabric Flexible Couplings we passed you some few months ago, but which you were then unable to try owing to pressure in other directions. I understand from the Hillman Company that they are now supplying Standard, Austin, Rover, Bentley, etc., and as their figures offer a distinct advantage, perhaps you could arrange to start testing now. The claim their Fabric and method of construction as amongst the strongest on the market. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} [Faint watermark: DICKINSON BOND 180/t] [Faint stamp: RECEIVED] | ||
