Cox - Advertising Manager} X6135 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/AD30.6.32. 20/25 and 40/50 INSTRUMENT PATCHES We demonstrated to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}, CX{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} and PN.{Mr Northey} yesterday the improvements we have effected in the illumination of our instrument boards and they all expressed their satisfaction and approval of the scheme. We should, therefore like the improvements to be incorporated on production as soon as possible. Whilst at Sales we arranged with Messrs. Smiths' instrument engineers to come over and discuss with CX.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} and myself the improvements required to the dials to make them more distinctive and after inspection and comparison of the existing 40/50 instruments with their own they agreed that an improvement was necessary. Messrs. Smiths are accordingly producing immediately a set of dials embodying all our suggestions which they will submit to us for approval as soon as possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
