Rolls-Royce Ltd. re Petrol Feed System, carburetter, Electric horn etc. We enclose advance illustrations of these fittings, and would draw your special attention to the extremely neat design of flush fitting Electric Light Switch instrument, which is a perfect match with our new post-war speedometer and watch. All three items are of exactly similar dimensions. The writer will be visiting the Midlands to-morrow on a demonstration car fitted with our whole Equipment, and will be very pleased to make a special trip to Derby at your convenience, if you will kindly write him by return at our Midland Service Depot, 122 Alma Street, Birmingham. We feel sure that upon inspection of this Equipment you will agree that it is not only very much in advance of pre-war designs, but also that of our competitors' goods. Every detail of our Equipment has had most careful consideration with the result that the range of accessories offered is quite the best obtainable. Awaiting your esteemed reply, for which we thank you in anticipation. We beg to remain, Yours faithfully, pp. S. SMITH & SONS (M.A.) LTD. C.P. Nichols General Sales Manager. | ||
