Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} London, E.C. 20th March 1912 THE GYROSCOPIC NON-SKID. 2590 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Rd., Derby. Dear Sirs, We have your favour "TBB5/L14312" of the 14th inst., and we were not aware that our apparatus had been tested by you and if so, whether the test was carried out with the latest and improved type of Gyroscope, as this is, of course, a very different thing to what it was in its earlier form, both in regard to design and efficiency. We think it would be well worth your while, in view of the success which this apparatus is meeting with and of the one or two biggest firms in the motor industry who have placed our "Gyroscopic Non-Skid" on their cars with great satisfaction, to reconsider the matter, and if you will grant us an interview one of our partners will be happy to come down and see you at any time you like to name. Thanking you in anticipation, Yours faithfully, HAYS, HUNTER & STANDEN, Ltd., [Signature] JOINT MANAGING DIRECTOR. | ||
