Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, Attention Mr. Hives We have pleasure in advising you that in the recent extraordinary performance put up by the Hon. Victor and Mrs. Bruce at Montlhery when in ten days they covered 15,000 miles, the carburetor fitted to their car was a Stromberg. During the whole time the carburetor required no attention other than the removal of external ice. The fact that the run was conducted during extremely inclement weather enhances the performance of the car and drivers, and we are pleased to be able to state that the Stromberg Carburetor assisted in such a record-breaking feat. Yours faithfully, STROMBERG MOTOR DEVICES LIMITED Roland Philip Director & Manager. | ||
