9th March, 1939.

J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Howlett, Esq.,
Wellworthy Piston Rings Ltd.,
LYMINGTON,
Hants:

Dear Howlett,

Many thanks for your letter.

Blackith gave me one of your lists the other day, from which I noticed that you had marketed the 'L' Section Ring. We still regard it as No.1 method of oil control.

The piston is still confirming its initial promise.

Yours sincerely,
