PETROL PUMPS

Before we get involved producing our own petrol pumps we think we ought to look into the patent position and how much royalty we shall have to pay. As the whole success of this pump is wrapped up in the type of fabric which is used, we do not think we have any alternative but to get the A.C. Co. to supply the fabric.

It is very possible that if we have to pay any royalty and buy the fabrics off them, the cost will be very nearly as much as if we bought the pump complete.
