| COPY. Second Export Copy The Moto Meter Company, Inc. Long Island City, N.Y. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby, England. Gentlemen, We wrote you quite sometime ago in regard to the advantages of the BOYCE MOTO-METER as equipment for your automobiles and regret to say that we have not heard from you since. A short time ago, we forwarded for your kind consideration 1 of our standard Models, finished in nickel and also a Distance Type Model "A", through the kindness of your Mr. Olley. No doubt these two instruments have reached your hands and in all probabilities you have made a thorough test of them and we would, therefore, be very grateful to you if you would be kind enough to let us have your comments. It is needless for us to say that our experience with some American-made cars has been that while they had difficulties in selling their production, as soon as they adopted our BOYCE MOTO-METER as equipment, shewing the public that they were endeavouring to protect their cars as much as possible from unnecessary accidents, their sales increased tremendously and while your production is of the highest repute, it is quite possible that if they had a BOYCE MOTO-METER as factory equipment, their sales would also increase quite materially. We have been able to, so far, include your automobiles as equipment for this country and it would please us greatly to have you to adopt our BOYCE MOTO-METERS for the rest of the world as equipment on your cars. If you should become interested in this proposition which no doubt you will, as it is of vital necessity to all water-cooled gasoline motors, we would appreciate that you communicate with us as we are now in a position to quote you most satisfactory prices that will represent a very small investment. Hoping that you will give this matter your careful consideration and feeling confident of the success that we will have in this proposition, we are Respectfully, EXPORT DEPT: CABLE "MOTO METER, N.Y."
