| 4993 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}10/MG14.9.25 The Wilcot Parent Company - i.e. Makers of the "Wefco" Gaiter" - have taken over the selling rights of the "Bristol" Tyre Pump - details attached, and have sent us two samples, i.e. the Bristol, and the Bristol Junior, which I hand you herewith. I think we are agreed such a type of Pump is too cumbersome for fitment in our Kit. Please advise. Meantime, notes of Tests taken with various foot-pumps by the Wilcot Company are attached. Apparently these are all foot-operated Pumps, not hand. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ENCLOSURE. Particulars of "Bristol" Pumps Notes of tests taken with Foot Pumps. 2 sample Pumps.
