Cox - Advertising Manager}1/KW. 19. 2.35. We are pressing Messrs. S. Smith & Sons (both Mr. Nicholls and Mr. Buckland of A.T. Speedometer Co.) for early proposals in connection with this matter, and will advise you immediately these are to hand. It is noted that in paragraph 4 you state that both the shaft and larger trip figures are suitable for the existing size of case. In conversation with Mr. Buckland yesterday he definitely states this is not so, which is confirmed by their letter of 18th inst. ref. FD{Frank Dodd - Bodies}/LAH. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
