Dear Sirs, We beg to call your attention to the Desmo Flexi Plug Cover for Aero Engines, which, as you are probably aware, is an evolution of the well-known Desmo Flexi Lubri-Cover. This Patent has now been successfully adapted to the needs of Aero Engines, and already we have the pleasure of supplying Messrs. Armstrong Siddeley for standard fitting on their Jaguar Engines. Feeling sure that we can interest your goodselves also, we are venturing to enclose herewith a sample of our standard Plug Cover, which we would ask you to consider and test if possible carefully, so that if you are interested, either in this article in its present form, or think that a specially designed model would suit your requirements better, we should be most pleased to hear from you, and place our services at your disposal in either event. We should be most pleased to arrange for our Representative to wait upon you at your convenience, if you would favour us with an appointment, with a view to discussing your likely requirements. Esteeming your early reply. Yours faithfully, DESMO LIMITED MANUFACTURERS OF ACCESSORIES FOR THE MOTOR, MOTOR CYCLE, CYCLE, AND ALLIED TRADES.
