| X6074 Copy. KLAXON LIMITED, 36, BLANDFORD STREET, LONDON W.1. Our Ref: CRG/MP. Your Ref:BY/Mtn19/N. 6th.Nov.1930. R.W.Harvey Bailey, Esq., Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sir, We thank you for your favour of the 5th.inst., under the above reference. We note your remarks regarding the sample Klaxon that you have had on test, and would be extremely obliged if it was possible for you to report rather more in detail as to its performance. You will probably remember that the writer emphasized the fact that when comparing our instrument with the Foreign made model, we were of the opinion that ours was more audible at really high speeds. Are you able to confirm this point? Again, we think we are correct in assuming that our instrument remains on adjustment for considerable periods without requiring any attention whatever. It is only by co-operation with people like yourselves who are able to test components under various conditions, that we can get a true index of performance. We note you are requiring two additional instruments, and these will be prepared and leave not later than the latter part of this week. Yours faithfully, KLAXON LIMITED. (Sgd) C.R.Gentry. Director. | ||
