| Elec. + 1325 1153 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}S/MH.{M. Huckerby}1.3.40. For a long time we have been suffering under highly inefficient radio sets on our cars. We have decided to tolerate this state of affairs no longer since radio is now an essential part of any high-class motor car's equipment, and in consequence have got a specialist who will concentrate on this work. In order to function he will require a Radio Analyser Instrument which is sold by the Western Electric Instrument Co. Ltd. and costs £15/15/-. We should be glad to have your agreement that we may purchase this piece of equipment. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
