ELLIOTT SPEEDOMETER. Referring to :- Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} /Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} 5/EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 28.10.24. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} /Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} 9/FP {F. Potts} 14.11.24. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} /Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} 3/WP 3.2.25. We have not had an opportunity of running these speedometers for any great distance. There is, however, one fitted to a car in France at the present time. We expect in two or three weeks it will have completed 10,000 miles. With equal workmanship, the A.T. speedometer should be better as regards - reliability, silence and accuracy.
