| 44631 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG. 12th. Mar. 1924. "Rectaskid", 3, Pembroke Mews, Halkin Street, Hyde Park Corner, S.W.1. Dear Sirs, With reference to our enquiry re. the "Rectaskid" and subsequent conversation on the telephone, when you offered to demonstrate a 40/50 H.P. Rolls-Royce fitted with this device, - we should like to know if this car is still available for trial. We should also like to know what notice you would require before a trial run could be arranged in London. The tests would necessarily be dependent upon climatic conditions; what we should really like to do would be to try the car with and without the device, if it was possible. Yours faithfully, | ||
