In order that we may be in a position to quote such customers the price of your instrument, will you kindly favour us with the price of the model you consider suitable for our chassis. We would mention that in order to match the other instruments supplied by us as part of the standard equipment of our chassis, the speedometer should have a black dial with white figures, and the flange should also be black. We find that the most popular range is 80 m.p.b. Yours faithfully, for Rolls-Royce Ltd; (sd) W.Cowen (initialled) H.H. SALES MANAGER. | ||
