Dear Sirs, INSTRUMENT PATCH. We acknowledge receipt of yours of yesterday's date together with drawing with modifications on the lines of our recent conversation, and the writer has immediately passed this along to Mr.Dorer with a request to him to make up a further patch embodying the new light-weight A.T. instrument - with the minimum of delay. By the way, the clock winding arrangements were satisfactorily taken care of in the sample panel which we had the pleasure of submitting, the idea being to arrange the winding stem at an angle. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. C.W. menoh SALES DIRECTOR | ||
