C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} re. BOYCE CLOCK.
ELECTRICAL SELF WINDING.

I think this is probably made in U. S. A.{Mr Adams}
I understand that Ferranti's make one and
as their work is generally excellent it may be worth get-
ting a specimen.

I should be very interested in seeing the
various samples you may get hold of.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
