Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Stamp]: RECEIVED JAN 28 1927 Gentlemen, Your Reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RmS/LG. Your letter of the 27th instant, re the Engine Speed Indicator, addressed to the Waltham Watch Company, has been passed to us for attention, as we are now the sole concessionnaires for the Waltham Watch Company's automobile products. You are quite right that the Waltham Watch Company did formerly manufacture an instrument of this description, but owing to the very small demand, both in this country and in U.S.A., they no longer market such an instrument. We, therefore, regret that at the moment we cannot be of service to you in this direction. Yours faithfully, SPEIGHT'S AUTOCESSORY COMPANY. [Signature]: C Speight JHS/EEB | ||
