| To EH. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 7th October, 1918. E2/G71018. X.3205 RE CALCOTT SPEEDOMETER. We are sending you under separate cover the elbow drive portions of the Stewart speedometer belonging to the Calcott car. The speedometer has ceased to function, owing to the failure of this drive which, as you will see, is normally bolted to the front axle on one of the front wheel pivots. Mr. Royce will be glad if you will return this to the Stewart Co., which is an American concern, and obtain the necessary replacements for putting the apparatus in complete order.
