ALL QUOTATIONS SUBJECT TO ALTERATION WITHOUT NOTICE AND WITHOUT ENGAGEMENT. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. YOUR REF: Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.2/AP. Dear Sirs, We have your favour of the 28th instant., from which we are sorry to note that even now you are unable to remove the restriction which you have imposed against the use of Zero Anti-Freeze in Rolls-Royce and Bentley Cars. However, we are grateful for your promise to run several cars during the forthcoming winter with Zero Anti-Freeze in the water systems, to gain further practical experience with our product, and we look forward to a favourable report next spring. We take it that you have sufficient Zero for the test in prospect. If a further quantity is required, we will be happy to send you further tins if you will let us know how much you would like. Of course, this further supply will be made without charge. Yours truly, PRICE'S LUBRICANTS LIMITED. J W Brooker | ||
