| X6135 c. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/AD. November 17th, 1931. Messrs. S. Smith & Sons, Ltd. Cricklewood Works, London, N.W.2. Dear Sirs, R.R. 20/25 HP. CHASSIS INSTRUMENT BOARD. We wish to confirm the visit of your representative Mr. Wilkins to our Works on the 16th inst. when proposals for the above instrument board were discussed. The general layout as submitted was provisionally agreed upon and it was finally decided that you would send us along a dummy plate with all the instruments mounted in position so that we could better see the final arrangement. The instruments would be A.T. speedometer, electric clock, moving iron ammeter, electric petrol level indicator, oil gauge and temperature gauge. It was also agreed that the red water temperature warning light be deleted. We hope therefore that you will be able to let us have this dummy plate as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
