| S.D. 4/29 FROM SIMMS MOTOR UNITS, LTD. CONTINUATION SHEET No. 1 To Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd. 13th September '29 supplied them with about 1100 Filters. We are now given to understand that a number of these chassis are going to the London General Omnibus Co. We have also supplied a good quantity of Filters to a well known Berlin Bus Co., and in other directions the Filter is seriously beginning to interest Makers. We enclose herewith a circular describing this accessory, and on page 5 you will see two methods of applying the Filter to a gear box. We also enclose a blue print of what we consider to be an ideal method of applying the Filter. This, however, necessitates rather considerable constructional alterations in the gear box which you may not consider justifiable. In case it should be of interest to you we might say that the price of our B.4. short reach Filter is 14/-, and of the long reach pattern 16/-. We shall hope to hear from you later that the above remarks are not without interest to you. We are, Yours faithfully, SIMMS MOTOR UNITS LTD. Bem-ann C. Foy p.p. & on Filter Dept. Encs. | ||
