Dear Sirs, We acknowledge receipt of Your letter of the 5th instant reference HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GJI/AD. We have now heard from the English Clock & Watch Manufacturers,Ltd., who state that the Department examining the instrument on its return was unaware of the conditions under which this instrument had commenced its tests with you. We wish to express our appreciation of the careful manner in which these tests were carried out, particularly with regard to re-sealing the Clock to prevent unauthorised persons tampering with the same while in service. We are glad to hear that this instrument is now on test again and giving satisfaction with the exception of the very slight gain per week. Yours faithfully, p.p. BOYCE MOTOR ACCESSORIES LTD.
