Sole Manufacturers of THE GIRLING UNIVERSAL BRAKE. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Robotham. As no doubt you will soon be considering designs for your 1937 Productions, we are writing to see if we can interest you in our GIRLING Braking System. It is now so well known that we need not elaborate on the merits of this System. It is definitely competitive in price. You can only prove same by your own tests and therefore we are quite willing to fit up any model you choose with a complete set of GIRLING BRAKES free of all charge to your goodselves, for your own experimental purposes. If you care we will be more than pleased to come and discuss the matter with you, or we can send you any further particulars you may desire. May we hope to have the favour of a reply. With many thanks. Yours faithfully, for NEW HUDSON LTD. [Signature] WORKS MANAGER. | ||
