| 44367 HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY5/H. 17.7.25. SPEEDOMETERS. I have just received the speedometer which I am sending you herewith, through the Order Office from Messrs Smith & Sons. It is evidently the result of Sales and Smith & Sons' representative discussing the matter together, and the visit that Smith & Sons made in consequence of the discussion, to our works. They have left the speedometer unsealed so that we can inspect the interior. It is possibly more a question of our inspecting than trying same. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
