Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sir, With reference to the recent conversation you had with Mr. Tresilian and Mr. Quinn in connection with the trouble you are having with oil seals, we have pleasure in enclosing one which we have moulded from HIBUDINE synthetic rubber, which in addition to resistance to oil, will withstand high temperatures. For your information, we have written Messrs. Super Oil Seals Ltd., and we are suggesting that they adopt HIBUDINE, as it has definite advantages over the materials now used, in view of the fact that it will stand up to higher temperatures. We shall be very pleased to receive your comments with regard to the sample enclosed. Yours faithfully, PAUL QUINN LIMITED. [Signature] Sales Manager.
