JWGB/SEF IN YOUR REPLY PLEASE QUOTE LM/B. 27th June 1929. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Royce, Esq., c/o Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Sir, We refer to our letter of the 22nd April, when we sent you a supply of Motorine R and Pure Castor Oil for test in the Bijur system of chassis lubrication. You will be interested to learn that Messrs. Luvax Limited have tested Motorine R and express their approval of this lubricant for the Luvax-Bijur system. They are at one with us on the importance of low setting point, and they confirm also the suitability of Motorine R for average temperature conditions. We are, Yours truly, PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature: Jur/Brooker] [STAMP: NATIONAL SCHEME FOR DISABLED MEN] [Handwritten at top right: X3806.] | ||
