Messrs.Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Sirs,
For the attention of the Purchases Dept.

For some years past we have been doing extensive business in supplying Ace Super Wheel Discs to a great number of your Agents and customers but we have not had the pleasure of receiving many orders from your goodselves.

We take this opportunity of sending you herewith our latest illustrated leaflet which fully describes the improved type of Ace Disc which is being extensively used on wheels as fitted to both the 40/50. and 20.HP.Rolls-Royce cars, and we assure you that the material and finish in all discs supplied by us is of the highest possible standard and each part of the wheel discs are thoroughly examined during and after manufacture.

Our patented fittings which are retained by high tensile rustless steel spokes which pass through from one side of the wheel to the other entirely eliminate fittings which are hooked, screwed or attached in any way to the spokes or the wheels themselves, thus allowing the wire wheel the free action which is necessary to maintain its resilience. The discs themselves not being attached as aforesaid to the spokes of the wheel cannot rattle or work loose.

All our wheel discs are made from seamless Aluminium and are spun by a special process, thus when fitted to the wheels are water and dust-proof and run true with the wheel when revolving. Our stove enamelling is of a very special character and is such as will stand the severe use which road wheels are subject to.

contd..........
