We regret to hear of the failure you have experienced with this instrument, and we are taking the matter up strongly with the makers. We are asking them if possible to supply us with a complete new instrument which we shall then despatch to you. We are not sure whether the broken spindle is part of the trip recorder or the total mileage recorder. Could you please let us know. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
