Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.

12th. March, 1927.

Dear Sirs,
EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT.

We have pleasure in informing you that we are despatching to-day two Lubri-Covers made of oil-resisting rubber, for testing out purposes.

You will observe that we have not made provision for the grease gun nipples and think it would be more beneficial for you to cut out sufficient rubber to make room for these when fitting.

If the Lubri-Covers are satisfactory after test we shall consider extending the length of the sleeve and providing a special hole therein to accommodate the grease gun nipple.

Trusting you will favour us with a detailed report of the behaviour of these Lubri-Covers after a severe testing.

Yours faithfully,
DESMO LIMITED.

[Red Seal Text]: THIS IS A DESMO FLEXI LUBRI-COVER DESIGNED TO COVER SPRING MECHANISMS. ARE YOU INTERESTED?

PLEASE ADDRESS ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO THE COMPANY.
