ENCLOSURE

Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd.,
Experimental Dept.,
Nightingale Road,
DERBY.

Dear Sirs,

We cannot refrain from enclosing herewith copy of an entirely unsolicited testimonial received from Mr. R.J. Hope in respect of a set of Shock Absorbers we recently fitted to his Rolls Royce car.

We fit our Absorbers to quite a number of your cars, and recently attached them to Mr. F.{Mr Friese} Fisher's Rolls Royce who, we understand, has been so impressed by the results that he has already taken your Mr. Lorthey and Major Sidgreaves for a run on the car to show them the effects.

Yours faithfully,

.THE HOUDAILLE HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION CO., LTD.
