With further reference to C5/C20.9.33., we assume your Memo. should have referred to rev. counters and not speedometers. On the assumption that this is correct, we have arranged for the instrument heads of the rev. counters of the first fifteen cars to go back to the makers for a red segment to be added to the dial. As assume you will take steps to see that the instruments on production chassis conform to your recommendation. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} WST | ||
