| -2- 2/FWB/MH.{M. Huckerby} February 16th 1937. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., (continued-) Our Laboratory is one of the finest in the Country, and in introducing S.P. "Carbonil" Speed Oil, we have had the valuable co-operation of Professor A.M.Low, A.C.G.I., D.Sc., the famous scientist who has joined our Company as Technologist. No doubt the name of Mr. Harry Martin, pioneer motorist and Worlds Record breaker is also well known to you as the winner of over 350 first prizes and 200 Worlds Records at Brooklands and other English and Continental tracks. His services have been secured in a technical and advisory capacity, backed by over 35 years experience of high speed racing and lubricants of all well known makes. May we have the pleasure of sending you a sample for testing, without obligation; it is definitely worth trying out if you value cylinder protection, high efficiency and a constant power curve. It may interest you to know that S.P. "Carbonil" Speed Oil is obtainable by the ordinary user, but if so desired arrangements could be made to give you a special blend for marketing under your own name --------S.P. "Carbonil" Oil. A stock is also kept at Brooklands Track for any special tests, hill climbs on test hill, or Records. Yours faithfully, J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} ENGLISH & CO. LTD.
