April 1936. The Chief Experimental Engineer, Bentley Motors. Messrs. ROLLS-ROYCE, Ltd. Derby. Dear Sir, We have pleasure in enclosing herewith a booklet which for the first time introduces the Gladwell Updraught Carburettor to the motoring world. The G.U.C. makes a great advance in carburettor design and we feel sure such an important development will be of considerable interest to you. You probably have an experimental chassis at you London address to which we should be very pleased to have the opportunity of fitting these carburettors. As we have a car tester we could supply you with readings showing power-output and consumption, before and after fitting, under your observation. Yours faithfully, Director.
