Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of the 9th ult., as indicated in the second paragraph we advised our friends in Paris of your requirements of Mobiloil "D" for the high speed road test you will be carrying out in France, and have received a letter from them stating that they will be delighted to provide Mr. Hancock with all possible assistance. In order that we may co-operate with Mr. Hancock to the fullest extent, we should be glad to know when that gentleman is likely to be returning to France, and we shall then know when to instruct the Vacuum Oil Co. S.A.F. to get into touch with him regarding delivery of the oil required. If Mr. Hancock would care to call at the Vacuum Oil Company's offices at 46, rue de Courcelles, on his way across Paris, or would nominate any other meeting place in the City, Mr. Durrieu, Manager of the Manufacturers' Service Division in France, would be very pleased to make his acquaintance, and make all arrangements with him. If you will be good enough to write to us in this connection, we will make all the necessary arrangements. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, VACUUM OIL COMPANY, LIMITED. [Signature: W. Stafford May] Manager, SNGR/MD. Manufacturers' Service Division. Mobiloil AND THE WORLD-WIDE ORGANIZATION OF THE VACUUM OIL COMPANY ARE ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE | ||
