(Handwritten: LOR See me) Dear Sir, We are writing to advise you that we are now marketing a Running-in Compound for use on new engines, and we are taking the opportunity of bringing this before your notice. We understand that a number of engine builders are now adopting graphited Running-in Compound, and should you decide to give the idea a trial we can supply you with excellent material, compounded with a correct proportion of colloidal graphite. If you are interested we shall be pleased to send you a small sample for examination, and to quote for whatever quantity you may desire. We enclose some reprints dealing with the matter which we trust you will find of interest. Yours faithfully, SILVERTOWN LUBRICANTS LIMITED [Signature] Motor Dept. cc/RWFS | ||
