Messrs. S. Smith & Sons Ltd.,
Cricklewood,
London N.W.2.

Dear Sirs,

We are considering the reduction of the speed of our speedometer drive by 30%.

We should like to know whether you can alter the internal gear of your 'wiper' so that it will give the same equivalent speed with this drive.

Yours faithfully,
