| Roy. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X.4367 BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C1/P26.2.24. SPEEDOMETERS. In reply to Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} 20/MG22224, we consider that the speed of rotation of a driving flexible of the Smith Speedometer is far too high, and our attitude is still the same that no useful purpose will be served sending instruments to us for testing purposes.
