| C O P Y. THE PATENT MOTOR PRODUCTS CO., 20 Store Street, Tottenham Court Road, LONDON. W.C.1. Proprietor J.W. Hawkes. JWH/MFP/3039. 17th. March 1922. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, Nightingale Road, Osmaston Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, We respectfully beg to thank you for the courteous interview granted to our Representative, Mr.A. Carr, also for your kind promise to test out L'HERMETICAL JOINTING SOLUTION. For this purpose we have much pleasure in forwarding to you, under separate cover and free of charge, one medium-sized tin which we think will be sufficient for your tests. We would like to point out to you that L'HERMETICAL is the original Liquid Packing which was on this market in 1914, and was supplied through-out the War to Aircraft Manufacturers and the Allied Armies. Naturally enough, a good article always has imitators, but unfortunately they are never able to arrive at the same results as the original. However, we trust that you will give L'HERMETICAL a thorough test when we feel quite confident that you will obtain complete satisfaction. In the event of our being favoured with your esteemed orders for this commodity we should be pleased to quote you special terms the same as employed by other leading Car Manufacturers in this country. Yours faithfully, THE PATENT MOTOR PRODUCTS CO. (signed) J.W. Hawkes. | ||
