Smith}, Samples herewith =] [Handwritten: A2 7/3/31] Dear Sirs, Your letter of the 4th instant, addressed to our Spondon Works, has been sent to this Department for attention. We have very great pleasure in sending on to you various samples of our cable-treating lacquers, Clear, and would advise you that we can supply these not only Clear but in a wide range of colours. We can quote you for these solutions as follows:- No.6.C... 9/- per gallon for quantities from 5-gallons upwards, delivered free in 5-gallon drums chargeable and returnable. 10/- per gallon for quantities of 1 to 4 gallons packed in 1-gallon tins non-returnable. S.M.37.L. 13/- per gallon d/d for 100-gallon lots packed as above. 13/6 " " " " 5/20 " " " " " 16/- " " " " 1/4 " " " " " No.5.C... 16/- per gallon d/d for quantities of 5-gallons upwards. 17/6 " " " " of 1-4 gallons packed in 1-gallon tins non-returnable. With reference to the last named - 5.C. - we would indicate to you that although the price appears to be high, the concentration is such that the spreading power is 2 1/2 times that of any of the other solutions. It is thus really the cheapest Dope in use. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Continued.
