BOYCE CLOCK. ELECTRICAL SELF WINDING. R2/W27.10.31. [Handwritten: X6022, X6026] [Stamp: RECEIVED 1931 OCT] I think this is probably made in U. S. A.{Mr Adams} I understand that Ferranti's make one, and as their work is generally excellent it may be worth getting a specimen. I should be very interested in seeing the various samples you may get hold of. [Signature] R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
