| RECEIVED 19 MAR 1931 Y6026. EFC. BY/RD/W.19-3-31. Re :- Electric Clocks. With reference to your memo querying the fitting of the Electric Clocks in your possession to Patches on experimental cars ; we would say that any Patch on those cars can be suitably altered by opening out the bore of the hole to take the Electric Clock. This can be quite easily done providing the whole Patch is dismantled and then, of course, if it is desired later to remove the Electric Clock and use the original mechanical clock we should have to put a Bush in to bring the bore smaller again. If you could let us know on what cars it is proposed to fit these Clocks, we would issue the necessary instructions to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} BY/RD, | ||
