2nd July, 1934.

The A.T.Speedometer Co.Ltd.,
Chronos Works,
North Circular Road,
London, N.W.2.

For the attention of Mr.H.R.Buckland.

Dear Sir,

We recently returned to you a Bentley rev-clock No.854 for overhauling and special calibration. Upon receipt back at the workswe find that the clock gains approximately 1/4 hour a day.

As we intend to fit this instrument to E.R.Hall's Bentley we think the clock should be a little more truthfull, so we propose returning same to you for regulation.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
