| +262 Exptl. Dept. Ha/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}1/JH. 2nd May, 1936. Your. ref. E.2. Messrs. S. Smith & Sons Ltd., Cricklewood Works, London. N.W.2. Dear Sirs, You have asked which model your meter X.47143 is to be fitted to, so that it can be married up - in appearance we presume - with the petrol gauge. It is to be fitted to E.R. Hall's racing car No. B-35-AE and the appearance is immaterial so long as it is easy to read in a race. The needle is to be vertical when reading 14 gallons. If you will kindly send these instruments as soon as possible we will get them fitted and tested. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
