| Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd. --------------------------- Gits Seals are fitted by the majority of the better class Motor Car manufacturers. As pointed out by our representative, we also make the Coil Spring type of Seal similar to what you are using and having carried out exhaustive tests, we find the Gits Seal superior in every way, consequently as specialists in Oil Sealing Devices, we offer the Coil Spring type, known as the Weston Oil Retainer as our cheapest form of seal. We therefore ask you to conduct a destruction test at your works, when we have no fear as to the result. In the meantime, we are enclosing herewith copies of our literature for your perusal. Yours faithfully, For CHARLES WESTON & CO.LTD. [Signature] Director. Enclos. | ||
