During the afternoon telephone call on Wednesday we endeavoured to get in touch with you on the question of changing the dials of the speedometer and rev. counter as now fitted to Bentley chassis. In your absence we explained to someone in your Office that Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} is under the impression the new dials with the markings reversed, i.e., with 'Zero' at the tops of the instruments, could be supplied and fitted at a cost of 5/- per pair of instruments. We have been expecting to hear from you on the matter, but up to the time of writing have not done so. Please let us know by return if what we are told is correct and, if not, what the cost of changing the dials would be. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
