| WST C135 To W.A. from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to E.W.H. Subject:- Instruments for New Model. Thanks for R.W/MP.4.4.35. Perhaps you could show me the layout when I am next at Derby which I expect will be before Easter. I find I was wrong in saying that the driving mirror I had seen was fitted with an electric clock as the electric wire going to it was apparently for a little internal lamp. Even if we cannot get an electric clock I believe the right policy is to have the large speedometer with the small 8-day clock rather than the two large instruments, the clock obviously being nothing like so important as the speedometer.
