| To EY. From EH. X 295 9th. Sept. 1919. EH/LCS.9.19. RE. CLOCK FROM MESSRS. SMITH & SONS. We do not consider this clock is as good as the one supplied by Messrs. Elliott. We see no real advantage in the Trip Dial. The fact of having to cut a Hole in the Instrument Board would spoil the look of it. We return herewith the clock. EH. | ||
