| 86068. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MA. 12th November, 1935. Messrs.S.Smith & Sons, Ltd., Cricklewood Works, London, N.W.2. For the attention of Mr.Nichols. Dear Sir, You remember some considerable time ago we discussed to-gether the question of electrical rev counters for our chassis in view of the fact that we had been troubled with several very noisy rev counter drives and we considered at that time a neat electrical rev counter would overcome this trouble at the same time provide a more complete form of rev indicator for our chassis. We should be glad to know if you have done anything further in the matter of experimenting on these lines and if so we should be glad if you would kindly let us have full particulars of any development you have under consideration. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
