"We make these in four types, in order to facilitate fitment to various types of screens, viz:- 1. Clamps on the long side. 2. Clamps on the short side. 3. Screwed flanges on the long side. 4. Screwed flanges on the short side. "The two first will clamp on to the bare glass of any wind-screen, and two latter which are for fixing, where the screen is bordered with a wooden edge. "The price for each of these types is £1.1.0 (One guinea) and we allow 25% trade discount. "We enclose a pamphlet describing this Glare Guard, and also copy of a testimonial which has lately been received from Lord Curzon. "We are also sending you under separate cover a poster which gives a verygood idea of the good results obtained by this Glare Guard." I am sending the above mentioned pamphlet and copy of testimonial to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} and shall be glad if he will hand same to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} after perusal. When the poster arrives, it shall be sent to you. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} Pamphlet & Testmnl. att. | ||
