ROY{Sir Henry Royce}2/MG20.3.33 Bensport Instruments Following your talk with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst last week, attached please find detailed statement showing the cost of:- (a) The various Smith instruments standardised on our 20/25 HP. Chassis. (b) The corresponding instruments which it is suggested we use on Bensport. I cannot understand the suggested charges by Messrs. Smith for the Speedometer - also the Combined Revolution Counter and Clock for Bensport. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst seems uncertain as to whether you are approaching Messrs.
