Lovesey, C/o.{Mr Oldham} Rolls Royce Motors Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr Lovesey, I am enclosing Folders giving brief particulars of my patented system for heating motor vehicles. Since the Folders were printed I have made several improvements as pointed out to you yesterday, the use of the small 1/4" flexible tubes is a great advance, same being so easily fixed and carried to any position without the use of fittings. I shall be pleased to demonstrate the system to any members of your Firm at an early date that may be conveniently arranged, and trust to hear favourably from them in due course. Yours very truly, J Edward Hiles. | ||
