March 28th, 1935 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hives, Esq., DERBY. Dear Mr. Hives, I have been asked to write to you by a friend of mine regarding a patent (which has been registered) for the infusion of drops of oil into the cylinder heads of motor engines, for use when starting from cold and to prevent cylinder wear. It is a very simple arrangement, I am given to understand, and although it works automatically, is in full control. Would your people be interested, and if so could an interview be arranged? I hope you do not mind my mentioning this. I am told that R.{Sir Henry Royce} R.{Sir Henry Royce} are always interested in anything of this nature, however small, and it is at my friend's suggestion that I am writing to you. With kindest regards, also to Mrs. Hives, Yours sincerely, Hyman Silverberg | ||
