| PAUL QUINN LTD. PAGE 2. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd. 13th June 1939. We should therefore be very pleased to hear the results of tests you have carried out on the seal sent to you, and we would greatly appreciate your carrying these tests out in direct comparison with the rubber supplied to you by Messrs. Weston & Co., about which you made your initial enquiries. We do not think the question of price can be reasonably brought up until these experiments have been concluded. Furthermore a slight increase in cost of a very small component of a motor car cannot be compared with the cost of failure of such component, especially in the case of a high class product. Yours faithfully, PAUL QUINN LIMITED. Paul Quinn Managing Director. PQ/CP. | ||
