I cannot understand why these cars cannot have our grouped instruments since it is proposed to supply these as an extra. It would be different if we had decided not to supply them under any circumstances.

Will Mr. Johnson kindly grant us this feature for better appearance and better lighting. I am sure it would affect the sales: I speak from personal experience with both.

It is a treat to have the better clock on EAC.7 (Watford).
