| X4308 U.W. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECD DEC 28 1922 BY9-P27.12.22 20HP. A.T. SPEEDOMETERS. We handed you recently an A.T. Speedometer made up to our latest requirements as these were understood by the A.T. Speedometer Co. There were one or two points which seemed doubtful, namely, the strength of the clamping spring, and possibly also the fixing of the pressing on the end of the flexible to the drive in the instrument. The settlement of this matter is very urgent, as the O.O. are entirely held up on speedometers until they have your final decision in regard to this sample instrument. If satisfactory they can at once place orders to go ahead, but they are anxious not to make any move until they are satisfied that you are getting what you require. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ry | ||
