The Rolls-Royce Company,
Derby
England,

Gentlemen:

We understand that you are installing on some of your automobiles, a new type of windshield wiper, called the Kents Clear View Screen. This screen is a revolving disc of clear glass which we understand is very effective and which might be used in airplane work.

We would appreciate it very much if you would communicate with us, giving us the address of this Company and any information as to whether or not you have found this equipment satisfactory.

Very truly yours,
LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION,

By Hall L. Hibbard
