Rolls Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. For the attention of Capt. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} West. Dear Sir, Riding Comfort Meters. With the increasing importance that the motoring public are attaching to the riding comfort in passenger cars, we are wondering if you would be interested in the possibility of a metering instrument for this purpose. This Company, as perhaps you know, are specialising in the manufacture of all types of Measuring Instruments, and we should be very glad to discuss the matter in principle with a view to producing such an instrument. Trusting we may be of assistance to you, We remain, Yours faithfully, C.H. PERKINS, MARCONI-EKCO INSTRUMENTS LIMITED.
