MANUFACTURERS OF Hobson KS Petrol Telegage AND MOTOR ACCESSORIES. WORKS: LONDON AND WOLVERHAMPTON. OUR REF. YOUR REF. TPS/MW ENCLO. 22nd January 1930. For the attention of W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Expl. Department, Derby. Dear Sirs, We are despatching to you to-night the two modified Telegages for your trial cars. We would like to draw your attention to the following points. The black finish of the bezels is not as we would like it, as they have not been able to be sent away under our usual process. We do not know whether it was your intention to make the spring attachment serve the dual purpose of holding the gauge in the dash-board, and holding the two halves of the gauge together. We tried to accomplish this, but did not feel that we could make a satisfactory job of it, and have had to make the gauge a complete unit held together by a spring clip, so that for installation purposes it should be considered as a single unit introduced through the front | ||
