Dear Sirs,

For the attention of Mr. Pilkington.

Mr. Robotham has asked me to write to you concerning a Mr. Max Fleischmann who is coming to this country shortly to demonstrate on hydraulic anti-rolling system which is connected to the shock-absorbers.

The system is called "Stabilus" is produced in Kroblenz Germany. I understand that you are procuring for us a set of parts to give hydraulic stabilization and am wondering if this is the same system.

I tried the Stabilic system about a year ago on a Ford, but as the ride was so hard the owner was told not to return until He could demonstrate a less harsh ride.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
