SMITH INSTRUMENTS ON 20/25 PATCH Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} considers our present standard Smith instruments would appear more distinctive if they had the R.R. monogram printed on the dials. We are arranging, therefore, for Smiths to send us samples of dials with the R.R. monogram printed on along with some other sample dials they are sending us, for approval.
