| DELCO-REMY & HYATT, LTD. - 2 - Whether or not this would be so on a Bentley or Rolls Royce passenger car engine I do not know, but I would very much like to hear your opinion after you have carried out tests. One of the most convincing tests I have carried out is to take a car which is misfiring on an ordinary coil and then substitute for it the control coil. In your letter you do not tell me whether you have carried out any tests on Rolls motorcars, and if you have done so, or if there is any chance that we might be able to interest you in our British made Delco Ignition, then I would very much like to have a talk with you on the subject, for which purpose I should be only too anxious to visit you at Derby any time you like. I am glad to hear that the Delco Aero Ignition has been functioning satisfactorily, and I hope that the A.M. will continue to be interested. Can you advise me whether there is anything I can do at this end in connection with British made Delco Ignition which may further incite their interest. If you can help me, I shall be very grateful indeed. I am, Yours sincerely, [illegible signature] Managing Director. | ||
