We have pleasure in confirming that the special electric petrol gauge for the above car was despatched to you on Friday last, also that the oil gauge, ammeter and thermometer were despatched prior to this. With regard to the petrol gauge meter, we regret we had to despatch this with a bright black bezel instead of a matt bezel. However, we have pleasure in enclosing herewith a matt bezel for this instrument, and should esteem it a favour if you would arrange for it to be fitted. Assuring you of our best attention at all times. Yours faithfully, For S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LIMITED. V.{VIENNA} Russell [signature] ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. | ||
