Dear Sirs, In reply to yours of the 1st inst., kindly note we have available a new type Autopulse, and we certainly should esteem the chance of seeing any experimental Car fitted with our device. The most expensive Cars in America are using the Autopulse, and recently the Studebaker Corporation have passed an order for 100,000. Is it possible to arrange for a new type instrument to be fitted, and for our man to inspect the Car when the job is complete? Thanking you, Yours very truly, p.p. R.M. PAPELIAN LIMITED.
