Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. 30th December 1938 Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter regarding the adaption of a Filter to a 6 1/2 litre Bentley. We are writing to Bentley Motors Ltd., but we shall be most grateful for any assistance you can give us with regard to current models. As mentioned by telephone to-day we would be very pleased if you could let us have about 10 gallons of old oil from your test department, in order that we may carry out certain tests on Filters under the same conditions as you yourselves have done. You will appreciate that, since as a result of your own tests, we have received your orders for General Filters, we are anxious that this standard should be maintained and improved if at all possible. Yours faithfully, For & on behalf of BRITISH FILTERS LTD T C Worth DIRECTOR. | ||
