Dear Sirs, We duly received your favour dated the 8th.inst. with further regard to the A.T.Speedometer Head referred to in your favour of the 23rd.ulto. for which we are obliged, and whilst noting your remarks think it possible that you are not taking into account the fact that this instrument has a contracted scale dial. If however, you are bearing this in mind and you are still of the same opinion regarding the discrepancy perhaps we might trouble you to again return the head to us for our inspection. Awaiting your further favour. Yours faithfully, pp. A.T.Speedometer Co.,Ltd., [Signature] [Handwritten: WST] | ||
