Derby Dear Sirs, Your favour of the 1st inst addressed to our Birmingham Works has been forwarded on to us for reply. We have experienced considerable difficulty in producing an instrument that is likely to be very much superior to those previously submitted, but we are still experimenting with a view to submitting you a further sample. At the present time we hold out little hope of being able to put forward a Model more suitable for fast traffic than the present Motor Driven type. Yours faithfully, KLAXON LIMITED.
