A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Robotham, Thank you for your letter of June 4th. I have arranged for four 5-gallon drums of our new oils, marked respectively "Light", "Medium", "Heavy" and "Extra Heavy", to be sent to Derby for your attention, and we shall look forward with great interest to your findings. We carried out an extensive series of tests on these oils in Lucas's Cold Chamber at Birmingham early in the year and, as I note that you are about to use a Cold Chamber too, I am wondering whether it would interest you to have a few details of the results we got at Birmingham - if so I will send them along. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, L.G. Callingham All offers subject to acceptance by return of post unless otherwise stated. | ||
