Belmont Works, Battersea, London, S.W.11. JWGB/VHG IN YOUR REPLY PLEASE QUOTE T.D. 31st March, 1938 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. ROWBOTHAM. Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of the 9th February, you will be interested to know that following up the writer's visit to your Works he arranged with Major Cox to commence a test of Motorine M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} A supply was immediately sent him, and a day or two ago when arranging for a further supply we were glad to hear from Major Cox that the running with our lubricant was all that could be desired. Major Cox is continuing to use Motorine M in his Phantom III and it is hardly necessary to add that we do not anticipate other than completely satisfactory results. Yours truly, PRICE'S LUBRICANTS LIMITED. J W Brooker TECHNICAL DIRECTOR. | ||
