| Copy 36, Redcliffe Road, London S.W.10 Messrs. Rolls Royce. Derby. Dear Sirs, I beg to draw your attention to the Tecalemit System of High Pressure Grease Lubrication, which is used almost exclusively by French automobile manufacturers, and which we are now starting to introduce and manufacture in this country. The great advantage of the Tecalemit system is that the connection between the Gun nozzle and the Grease Plug is made automatically and from a distance by simply hooking the one on to the other, and without touching either by hand. The facility and the cleanliness of this system must be tested to be fully appreciated, and I would be very pleased to send you a sample set for this purpose. Another advantage of our system is the simple method of filling the Grease Gun, which is described in the enclosed catalogue. We claim that our system permits grease to be transferred from the tin to the bearing under high pressure in the shortest possible time and with the least inconvenience to the user. Trusting to hear that you are interested, I remain, Yours faithfully, (sgd) R.A.Chalmers. | ||
