Wednesday, July 13th, 1921. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Dear Sirs, As you are probably aware, some months ago we were appointed Sole Agents for the United Kingdom and Export trade from this Country for Messrs. Fabbrica Italiana Magneti Marelli of Milan, Italy, Magneto Manufacturers. The General Manager of the firm in question is now in London, and he has arranged that within a few days we shall receive a series of their latest models, which will be available for inspection. This letter is addressed to you with a view to interesting you in an entirely new type of Marelli Magneti presenting such special characteristics as to place it in a class by itself. This new pattern is most accurate and reliable and embodies certain mechanical and electrical features which render it absolutely perfect. We feel confident that if you will allow us an opportunity of acquainting you with the full details of this model, you will be convinced that Messrs. Fabbrica Italiana Magneti Marelli have produced a Magneto absolutely free from any defect. We would esteem it a favour if you could arrange an appointment for our Representatives, when we would be pleased to demonstrate to your Technical Department the advantages of this new Magneto. We trust that the fact of your not requiring anything at present in this line will not deter you from allowing us the facilities requested, as we are sure that you will be so favourably impressed, that you will be disposed to give us an opportunity of tendering, when you are renewing your contracts. Yours faithfully, ERCOLE MARELLI & CO. LTD., M.D. | ||
