[STAMP: RECEIVED 30 AUG 1934] The Sales Manager, Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., 14-15, Conduit Street, London, W. I. Dear Sir, We have to thank you for the courtesy of your reply to the writer's letter addressed to Major Cox, and now write you formally, more clearly to explain the position. We have no desire for publicity in the ordinary sense, but, rather, are looking for markets for our product, and wish these markets to be of the best. Our Accumulator is at present being, or is about to be, tested by the Admiralty, the Royal Aircraft Establishment, the Post Office, etc. etc., and has already undergone very severe tests in America and France. It has been proved definitely superior in capacity to other known Accumulators, and will not sulphate. The object of the writer's letter to Major Cox was more of an introductory character, and we now suggest you allow us to send an Accumulator to your factory at Derby for the purposes of test, and possible order. Thanking you again for your courtesy in this matter, and trusting to receive your favourable instructions. Yours faithfully, FALCON ACCUMULATOR CO. [Signature] [Handwritten: Ans'd 30/8/-] | ||
