| X Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.24/KW. 26th June, 1936. Messrs. H.M. Hobson Components Ltd., 47-55, The Vale, Acton, London, W.3. For the attention of Mr. Seawright. Dear Sirs, In the issue of "Automotive Industries" dated May 30th, 1936, we noticed an advertisement of the King-Seeley Corporation, Ann Arbor, Michigan, who are associated with yourselves, we believe. The article advertised was a new Telegage for indicating water temperature in cylinder block or cylinder head, which operates electrically through the medium of three bi-metal strips. We are interested in this type of gauge, and would like you to supply us with one if this is possible. If you will let us know if you can do this, we will forward an official order. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
