We would like you to consider an alteration to the instrument board of 10-EX in order to incorporate a revolution counter and a K-S Telegage. The face of the rev. counter will be practically the same as that of the speedometer. the petrol gauge has an oval face of elliptical section with a major axis of 3.312" and a minor axis of 1.875". Do you consider that we should send the instruments in question to Messrs. Barkers, dr wait until the other alterations are complete before approaching the subject?
