F.R.Banks Esq.,
Ethyl Export Corporation,

London. S.W.1.

Dear Banks,

Here is some further correspondence from the Alcohol fuel people.

We presume that they hardly dare claim an 84 octane value unless they can approach this figure.

We should be glad if you would let us have any further information on this fuel as it come available.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
