We are sending the Motor Car Clock as above under separate cover, and we believe it has now been improved so as to overcome all your objections. We regret having kept it so long on test but this has been due to two accidents which have happened to the Accumulator, which has interrupted our tests. We enclose herewith some notes pointing out the alterations we have made and giving data in regard to the Clock. We trust to receive a satisfactory report from you in due course, and are, Yours faithfully, FOR GENT & CO.LTD. A.W. Ball Enclosure Notes. | ||
