Rolls Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Attention - Mr. Hardy. Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in confirming our Mr. Brinkworth's call on you yesterday and thank you for the opportunity of giving you details of our Heating equipment. We should however, like to add that the Heater which we showed to your Mr. Hardy is not the finished product which we hope to have ready shortly. When we have this ready perhaps you might care to see it and we should be only too pleased to arrange for this. We should like to take the opportunity of mentioning that with the use of a horizontal type of flash coil boiler it becomes very much easier to heat the rear compartment of larger cars. The advantage of the flash coil is that it does make it possible to use an entirely separate water system for the heater. Should at any time you wish to try one of our Flash coils we should be only too pleased to send you one down. We should like to thank you for the trouble your Mr. Hardy was kind enough to take in showing our Mr. Brinkworth the heater which you have designed. continued.......... | ||
