Your reference Planning or Production Dept. 3rd. July 1933. Messrs: Rolls-Royce Limited. Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, RE. H.F.CAR TESTERS AND VIBRATORS. Demonstrations of the above equipment recently carried out before several car manufacturers have aroused considerable interest. Tracking defects in bodies, checking the performance of car, setting of brakes, etc., can be carried out very much more cheaply and reliably than by road tests. We recently sent you our Catalogue and offered to arrange a demonstration. We are confident that it would be to your advantage to send your Engineers to our works with one or more of your cars, and if you will give us two days' notice, we shall be very pleased to make the necessary arrangements. We are, Yours faithfully, HEENAN & FROUDE LIMITED. [Signature] Publicity Dept. | ||
