July 27th. 1920.

Mr. Claude Johnson,
Managing Director,
Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
15 Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}
London, England.

Dear Sir,

Re' Accessories. ('Customer Fads' a/c to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair})

PERFECTION HEATERS.

We require to supply certain of our customers, on demand, with Perfection Heaters.

A model Perfection Heater was sent to England last fall and, we believe, has been built into a car.

We have received no report on this matter as far as I can ascertain, and we have reason to believe that though the heating is satisfactory in operation, we shall require some modification and improvement in the pipe joints and other details.

We should be glad to know the opinion of Mr. Hives and whoever else has used this heater, so that we can have these modifications introduced on the heaters which are supplied us.

As we must place orders for these heaters for imported chassis and American chassis not later than the end of August, we shall be glad to receive the information at your earliest convenience.

Unless notified to the contrary before then, we shall have to place orders for a limited quantity about the middle of August.

Very truly yours,

ROLLS ROYCE OF AMERICA Inc.

C.C. Messrs. Belnap
Nadin.
Keim.
Manning.
