Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

For the attention of Mr. Leslie.

Dear Sirs,

In reply to your letter of the 11th. inst. and confirming our conversation of even date, we have tested the sample of Quick drying Chassis paint submitted and we do not anticipate the solvent having any deleterious effect on the rubber assembly in question, namely Pt. F.60398.

Whilst agreeing that the paint as used by us in the first instance was rather too slow drying, that which is being used at present appears to be quite satisfactory and would appear to cling better to the article than the Chassis paint supplied by you. We are, however, forwarding by passenger train today six samples in our latest finish addressed for the personal attention of Mr. Leslie, and in accordance with our 'phone conversation will await your final report before proceeding further in this matter.

Yours faithfully,
British Tyre & Rubber Co. Ltd.,
