| 44308 To SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Bsy Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG23.10.28. JAEGER SPEEDOMETERS. X4665 With reference to Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 2/M23.10.28. We are running Jaeger speedometers on two experimental cars. They have been running on these cars for several months and have given no trouble. We would not however recommend changingover from the A.T. unless there is a very good reason. The Jaeger has not such a high class appearance as the A.T. and also it would require several detail modifications to suit our requirements. We have spent such a long time in getting the A.T. to produce the instrument we require, it would be a great pity to start all over again with another firm unless there is a very good reason for it.
