Huckerby} Dear Sirs, Following up previous correspondence with your goodselves finishing with our letter of the 25th March, the writer is particularly anxious to have a talk with Mr. Rowbotham next week, and would be glad to know whether that would be convenient. We have lately heard from Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} that Major Cox on the occasion of a visit to Derby recently reported that his use of Motorine M on his Phantom III had been quite satisfactory as far as lubricant was concerned. We have lately effected some little alteration in Motorine C and this also the writer would like to discuss, particularly in relation to Rolls and Bentleys of 1937 and previous years. Yours truly, PRICE'S LUBRICANTS LIMITED. [Signature: J W Brooker] TECHNICAL DIRECTOR. 203. | ||
