| Copy for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C o p y ---------- W/S. BJ. from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to C. -------------- ROY{Sir Henry Royce}1/AG1.2.27 AMMETERS -------- Under existing arrangements we fit the English made Elliott Ammeter to the 20 HP. Chassis, and the American made Weston Ammeter to the 40/50 HP. Chassis, the prices for such instruments being:- Elliott Ammeter .... 34/6d Weston Ammeter .... 35/6d I suggest we go a step further now and fit 50% Elliott and 50% Weston to the 40/50 HP. Chassis, and so find further work for our own countrymen. We have had no complaints yet of the Elliott instruments fitted to the 20 HP. Probably very few, however, are yet in the hands of the Public.
