| Expl: Dept: X4308. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/LG. 17th. July 1928. Messrs. The A.T. Speedometer Co.Ltd., 20, Avonmore Rd., West Kensington, London W.14. Dear Sirs, This is to confirm our telephone conversation with you this afternoon that you will send to Messrs. Barkers for the speedometer out of the Instrument Patch for 12-G-4 car and modify it to suit a 20 HP. car with 11 X 50 axle and circumference 92½" instead of the standard dimensions of 97" rear tyres. The speedometer at present on the patch is suitable for a 40/50 HP. car. As we emphasised, this speedometer is for Mr. Royce's car and it is of the utmost importance that we should have it on Friday. We are much indebted to you for your assurance that you will do all you can for us in this matter. We should be glad to hear further from you how the job is progressing. Yours faithfully, | ||
