GENT ELECTRIC CLOCK

We are handing you herewith the sample electric clock received from Messrs. Gent.

As we have not found this clock to be superior to the Empire clock we wish to return it to the makers. At the same time we should like them to know that for the time being we are not in a position to carry out any further tests on their clocks.

They have the "works" of a Watford clock which they removed from a case in order to fit their clock. Would they please return this also to us complete.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.
