WST For the attention of Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West. Dear Sirs, We have to thank you for yours of the 30th ult., and note that the Rev-Clock has been safely received. We are very sorry in regard to the overall diameter of the Rev-Clock. We thought that the further reduction in weight would be so attractive that, if the dial size were preserved, you might have been able to deal with the reduced overall dimension. However, we would like to suggest that you return to us the speedometer which was delivered by the writer to you, and we will engage to reduce this to exactly the same size as the Rev-Clock, and also fit the smaller magnet as was fitted in the Rev-Clock. We trust you will be able to do this and we shall return the instrument in a few days. Always at your service, We beg to remain, Yours faithfully, For THE A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD.
