| Continuation Sheet No. 2. LAKE & ELLIOT. LIMITED, BRAINTREE. Oct. 23rd, 1919 Messrs. Rolls Royce. Ltd. speed, and easy manipulation. We have not yet fixed the price of this Jack, but shall do so by the Show. We are sorry we are unable to send you a sample at present, but shall have a sample at the Show which we shall not be showing to the public, but which we shall be pleased to show to your Representative, if he will call at our Stand. We shall have samples available in about another three or four weeks. We consider that a 9" Jack is most suitable for your Car, for although this would not quite go under the axle when the tyre is off, it is never necessary for the Car Owner to raise a Car from this position. The Jack will extend to 16" which is ample for your Car. We would suggest that the best course is for us to supply you with Millennium Jacks until we are able to supply the Express. We always consider it advisable to use a jack without a secondary extension if it will fulfil the requirements. Yours faithfully. p pro Lake & Elliot. Ltd., [Signature: A Ernest Lake] General Manager. BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} 27 OCT 1919 RECEIVED | ||
