X.4278 - Alfred Graham & Co. Electrical Autohorn.
With reference to your Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 3/NJ21.2.21 and to the attached correspondence from the above Company dated 18th. Feb.21. Before we ask these people to submit to us a sample Horn, could you please obtain from them the distance the sound of their Horn will travel.
So far, we have not found anything but a motor-driven horn which will carry the sound a sufficient distance.
