Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Royce. In reply to your letter of the 25th inst., re discolouration of the silvered letters on the dials of the Speedometers which were supplied to you about six months ago. We have taken this up with the manufacturers of the dial, and are awaiting their reply. It is quite possible that this dozen dials - owing to the limited time in which they had to be made - were not properly cleaned, and we do not think that there should be any change whatever, even after a number of years. Thanking you for pointing out the fault to us. Yours faithfully, A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO., LTD., S.
