| The Macintosh Cable Company, Ltd. Derby. Continuation No 2. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. 12th. January 1926. We also manufacture "Maconite" cables of all other types for car work, that is lighting and starter cables of vulcanised rubber or C.T.S. type. The resistance of "Maconite" to abrasion, oil and acid is of great value in this connection. We shall be pleased to furnish you with any samples of the latter, should the result of your proposed tests prove sufficiently satisfactory to retain your interest. Yours faithfully, THE MACINTOSH CABLE COMPANY LIMITED. T.H. Burley SALES MANAGER. | ||
