It is needless for us to point out the great advantage in using these Center-Fed Spring Inserts to properly lubricate the leaf spring. Our proposal to you is to have you adopt these, and if you will, we will make such arrangements that you can make these yourselves, and you pay us a royalty on each set that you use on your cars. Would you entertain such a proposal, as we think this would be the best way, and you could easily make these yourselves as you require them from time to time for your cars, or if you are not in a position to do this we could make them for you, but on a royalty basis they would come no doubt cheaper, seeing you could probably manufacture them yourselves, having the plant to do so, as this is a very simple method and they are easily made.
