| Alfred Graham & Company, St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} Andrews Works, Crofton Park S.E.4. London. 18.2.21. WHL/H. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Buying Dept. Derby. Dear Sirs, We are taking the liberty of bringing to your notice the GRAHAM ELECTRICAL AUTOHORN, as illustrated in enclosed leaflet AD1 and AD11. We realise that the Rolls-Royce is in quite a class of its own and that the accessories must be equally of sterling value. This consideration has prompted us to ask you to accept samples for test. Briefly, our belief in our product is based on the following outstanding features of the horn. OFFICE COPY 1. Pentration of tone, which without being raucous, as are many of the Motor driven type, is loud enough to warn effectively. At the same time it has a mellow note which is so much more pleasant and in keeping with a quality car. 2. Reasonable current consumption - about 2½ to 3 amperes. 3. Highest quality of manufacture. You will realise that this latter statement can be verified when we explain that we have been for many years making Loud Speaking telephones for H.M. Naval Service. May we ask for the favour of an interview to be granted our Sales Manager, who would be glad to submit models for you to test? With compliments, We are, dear Sirs P.T.O. ALFRED GRAHAM & CO. E.A. Graham. | ||
