TECALEMIT Ltd., Great West Road, BRENTFORD, Middlesex. Dear Sirs, On the Daimler 2 1/2 litre introduced late in 1937, there were, as far as I remember, some flexible hoses on the chassis lubrication system, round about the front suspension. These hoses externally were rubber. As I believe this car had your system of automatic chassis lubrication, I imagine these flexible hoses were manufactured by yourselves. If this is so, could you give me full particulars of similar articles and let me know also whether you are in a position to supply a small number of these hoses at the present time. Yours faithfully, Design Department. | ||
