Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 17th November, 1936.

W. Lyons, Esq.,
Managing Director,
The S.S. Cars Ltd.,
Holbrook Lane,
COVENTRY.

Dear Mr. Lyons,

Can you tell me whether you are satisfied with your rev.counter & Speedometer, or not ?

We fit a very much more expensive instrument to the Bentley, but we are wondering whether this procedure is really justified. Our main trouble is in noisy drives, do you suffer from this disease ?

Yours sincerely,
