SMITH ELECTRIC PETROL GAUGE ON 20/25 CHASSIS. We see no objection to the use of the new "Lantern toothed" gear on the petrol gauge fitted to the 20/25 chassis and the same is already standard on the Phantom III. We suggest therefore that you authorise Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} to instruct Messrs.Smiths to fit the same to all our gauges on all chassis. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
