| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & HL. from Rs.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} Sir Arthur Duckham, (whose brother is a member of Alex: Duckham & Co.Ltd., the oil people) has been in communication with Mr. Royce regarding the "New Process Oil", and is anxious that we should give this a good trial, with a view to securing our orders. I have today written to Alex: Duckham & Co.Ltd., advising them to get in touch with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Hl., to send samples, and then no doubt an appointment could be fixed. Mr. Royce would be glad if you would find out all you can about this 'New Process oil'. RS.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} | ||
