Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. West. Dear Sirs, With reference to the Bentley Rev-Clock No. 854, which you have returned for overhauling, we quite agree that for the clock to be gaining half an hour a day is by no means satisfactory. It seems, however, on examination, that this particular instrument had had a shock of some kind, which had upset the movement. Moreover it is one of the earliest Rev-Clocks that we have supplied to you. However, we have had the movement completely exchanged and are quite sure that you will have no further trouble with this instrument. Always at your service, We beg to remain, Yours faithfully, For THE A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD., [Signature] Director. | ||
