| RP E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} S. SMITH & SONS (Motor Accessories) LTD. CRICKLEWOOD WORKS, LONDON, N.W.2. CONTINUATION NO -1. Flexible Shafting. We can arrange to make up any material you may require. In view of your criticisms, however, I suggest that we discontinue entirely the use of the cheaper type of flex, reverting to the earlier design. ***** I note your wishes regarding Mr.Moss; when we visit you I am hoping to be able to let you have news of a rather interesting experiment which we are at present making with Speedometers. It is just a little early at the moment to discuss the matter. Sincerely yours, Charles W. Maunds | ||
