| Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /TMW from Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} X 4308 Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 4/NJ6.1.21. Yours Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /TMW2/LG5.1.21. We have a letter from Bleriot Ltd. stating that they will send us one of the A.T. Speedometers for testing if we will let them know the gear ratio, size of tyres, diameter of drum for driving pulley and any other information we think will be of use. They also wish to know whether we require the dial to read to 60 or 80 miles. Further, they wish to know whether we require nickel-plated finish. I presume that we should prefer black finish. Please say. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} | ||
