April 22nd, 1939.

Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
DERBY.

Dear Sirs,

For the attention of the Technical Dept.

We recently had the pleasure of submitting an Air Conditioning Unit to your Head office in London, and we understand from Mr. Honeyman that this was duly forwarded to Derby for test purposes.

He gave us to understand that we should probably be hearing from you, and we are therefore writing to ask if there is any additional information we can give you. We trust that you found the Unit in question justified the claims made for it; and as we are confident that some form of air purification and heating will certainly be incorporated in next season's models, we are wondering if we may be allowed to quote for either the complete unit or any of its component parts.

As you will no doubt remember, the temperature of the air in the interior of the body is kept at any desired degree by means of a thermostatic control, which is an exclusive feature of this particular make of Unit.

We hope, therefore, that we may have the pleasure of hearing from you in the matter.

Yours faithfully,
For BROOKLANDS of BOND STREET.

C.A.V.Roper
