The above firm recently submitted to us for experimental test 3 of the above clocks. One of these marked 'I' failed at the completion of a bench test. Will you please return this clock, which we hand you herewith to the makers, at the same time asking them to let us have their comments as to the failure. There should be no charge for this.
