Central — 822 3·4·5 & 6 ALFRED PLACE TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD LONDON W·C·1. 13th January, 1934. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sir, For the Attention of Mr. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Royce, re: H.T. Cable. We learn, with no small degree of pleasure, that our associated company, Messrs. Remax Limited, are at present supplying you with Bonnet Fasteners. We are manufacturers of all types of high grade Automobile Cable, and we feel sure that the new lacquered cable that we have just perfected, would be of interest to you. After many months of careful experimenting we have produced a lacquered treatment that is heat proof - weather proof - flame proof - petrol proof - and corona proof. CONSTRUCTION.- The 7m/m Ignition Cable is built up of a triple rubber insulation containing one layer of pure para rubber, and is braided overall with a soft cotton, which is treated with the special transparent lacquer that fails to crack under the severest distortion. When we were working upon this cable we had in mind a finish that would be able to withstand very great variations in temperature, so that it would be suitable for the overseas trade. Under test we have found that it will stand up to intense heat and intense cold, without the slightest damage to the pigment of the lacquer. contd........
