(Dict. 12th). Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. WST For the attention of Mr. West. Dear Sirs, We beg to confirm Mr. West's call and discussion on the new type instrument this morning, as per notes attached. We shall hope to be in touch with you again on the subject in the next week, or ten days. With reference to Rev-Clock G.855, this has already been returned to you, but, if you wish this to be further tested as to the exact 2 1/2% plus, if you will return it, we will have this specially done. We confirm that we shall be sending you a further cable for your Testing Apparatus to-morrow. We shall carefully test this, to make sure that there is no "throw" in it. We confirm that on standardization, there is no extra charge for the red segment and line, but we had to make extra charges for this work to be carried out on instruments which were sent back to us. Always at your service, We beg to remain, Yours faithfully, For THE A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD., H.R. Buckland Director. [Sticker Text] MOTOR EXHIBITION OCT. 12-21 OLYMPIA OUR STAND No. 322 Gallery | ||
