Derby. For the attention of Mr. Royce. Dear Sirs, With reference to the set of "Rappa" Spring Gaiters you had from us some time ago for experimental purposes, we should like to point out that our gaiter has since been considerably improved in many respects, particularly with regard to the oiling device. As you are already testing out a set of our gaiters, we should like to give you the opportunity of trying our latest type. If you would care to send us particulars of the springs, we should be pleased to make you up a set free of charge. Our Mr. Mullins will be in your district early in the New Year, and we should esteeme it a favour if you could grant him an interview. Awaiting the favour of your reply, We are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HARRISON & SONS.
