Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 23rd inst., for which we thank you. We shall be interested to hear the result of your experiments with the Electric Gauge which we have supplied. With regard to your criticism in connection with the scale, we are afraid it is not possible for us to lengthen this, but in the event of your deciding to adopt the instrument we think the lettering on the scale can be increased in size, so as to become more easily readable. Yours faithfully, H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} HOBSON (Aircraft & Motor) COMPONENTS, LTD., S. W. Hughes Sales Director. TBD | ||
