| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Foot Pump Herewith a sample "Masterpiece" Foot Pump, which has been offered in competition with our present standard, i.e. the "Kismet". Would you kindly test out and advise how it compares with our present "Kismet". You will note they have included a Gauge in their Pump. This of course we could eliminate, as we have done with the "Kismet", seeing we supply a Schrader in the Kit. The Masterpiece Company would be only too pleased to substitute grey tubing if desired, and also fit an instantaneous connection. You will see the "Masterpiece" Pump tucks away even more closely than the "Kismet". ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Sample herewith | ||
