We pointed out that we had not much faith in this type of material, but we were informed that after carrying out extensive tests, General Motors are using this inhibitor on all their new cars before delivering them to customers or agents, and it is General Motors who are referred to in the copy of the letter attached hereto, as being one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the Country. We are handing the sample tin to HL. so that he can take sufficient for analysis purposes, and we shall be pleased if Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Grylls will arrange to have tests carried out with the remainder.
