| X6135. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.6/AD. November 9th, 1932. Messrs. S. Smith & Sons, Ltd. Cricklewood Works, London, N.W.2. For the attention of Mr. C.W. Nichols. Dear Sir, We confirm having handed to your Messrs. Manwaring and Russell the mock up electrical speedometer arrangement which we have had working in our laboratory. As this is our only sample we should be glad if you will return it to us as soon as you have completed your tests. We hope you will appreciate that this is just a rig up of the various units and we trust, if you decided to manufacture this type of speedometer, that a satisfactory instrument can be evolved suitably housing the rectifier and resistance unit. We should be glad to hear from you in the near future what your intentions are in the direction of manufacturing these in quantities. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
