| WST 86051 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}5/MG19.3.34 It is necessary to order further supplies of Speedometers and Tachometers for the Bentley car, and the question arises as to the possibility of instituting in the near future the lightened type instruments you have under observation. I know the Speedometer recently delivered gave trouble, due to the milemeter drive pin breaking. Could you give us some approximate idea now when it is likely they will be standardised, as naturally we do not want to buy any more of the heavier type, which are also more expensive, than absolutely necessary.
