| - 2 - Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd. DERBY. 23rd. Sept. 1919. We seldom have the opportunity of persuading people to use this oil as they will not pay the price, which, taking into consideration the small quantity your cars use, and the excellent results you would obtain, is false economy. We should be delighted if you would put this Oil to a most exhaustive test, when we feel convinced that its lubricating properties would in every way appeal to you. We should also like you to experiment with our Gear Oil, which we have specially refined to adhere to the gearing. It is a Pure Hydro Carbon with great body and stands up well under heat. We also enclose you an analysis of this. It will give us pleasure to forward you a few barrels of each of these oils for trial. Yours faithfully, W. B. DICK & COMPANY, LIMITED Chas. Edw. Dick DIRECTOR. | ||
