Dear Sirs With reference to the above which you were trying on your E2 car, you did not reply to my enquiry as to your opinion of the gaiter and how you found it work. As to whether you would care to fit the same as a standard fitting for your cars I should be pleased to quote you most favourable terms. As I previously wrote you I have now a gaiter that will buckle on easily and fit perfectly regardless of minor differences in the pattern of spring. I am, Sir, your obedient servant R. {Sir Henry Royce} Latham [STAMP] RECEIVED DEC 21 1921 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
