A.T. SPEEDOMETERS.

I attach hereto copy of a letter I have received as the result of the recent visit of the representative of the A.T.Speedometer Co.

You will note they have taken our remarks very seriously to heart and propose to modify the gearing and other parts of the instrument which we criticised.

I have asked them to supply us as soon as possible with a sample speedometer made up to the new proposals, when I will submit same to you and we will go through the matter together,

In the meantime, I feel that since they are taking themselves to task and putting their house in order, it would be foolish to make any change as we shall only go through a similar series of troubles with any other make of instrument that we take up, as none of them appear to be even reasonably designed.
