| X4038 Expl: Dept: HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG. 13th. Aug. 1928. Messrs. H.M. Hobson Ltd., 47-55 Acton Vale, London W.3. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Major Searight. HOBSON TELEGAGE. We want a couple of units for the 40/50 HP. on similar lines to that which we fitted to Mr. Royce's car i.e. with the balancing device to prevent blowing the gauge by pressure or side filler and also to eliminate gauge projection beneath the dashboard. We have two old type gauges here which we could send to you to be modified, but would prefer you to let us have two gauges, when we would return the old ones if this is at all possible. This would enable us to keep gauges running on cars in question. The gauge on Mr. Royce's car is working excellently. Yours faithfully, | ||
