Dear Sirs, CAR ELECTRIC CLOCK NO. 301.. With reference to your Mr. Royce's visit to our Stand at The British Industries Fair, and his enquiry in regard to the small Motor Car Clock we are developing, we are pleased to say that this is now well in hand and we anticipate sending it forward next week for a further test. We have been able to fit larger Magnets which will not burn out with 12 Volts, and we believe you will like the Clock when you get it back. Yours faithfully, FOR GENT & CO.LTD.
