We thank you for your letter dated November 23rd, and are pleased to note that you would be interested in an instrument for recording Riding comfort. We mentioned in our letter of the 18th instant, that such an instrument is not actually available but we would be glad to discuss its general requirements and consideration with you, with a view to developing one, which would be of real practical value. If you would be interested to do this, we should be very glad to arrange a convenient meeting. We also note that you would be interested in an instrument to take indicator diagrams of shock absorbers, and will give this our consideration in the meantime. Trusting we may have the pleasure of hearing from you, Yours faithfully, C.H. PERKINS, MARCONI-EKCO INSTRUMENTS LTD. BIF 1937 15 TO 26 FEBRUARY OLYMPIA & EARL'S COURT-LONDON SEE OUR EXHIBIT | ||
