We should like to have your views regarding the proposal to fit an electrically wound clock on the 20/25 chassis. Apart from the attractive feature of the clock always wound, (one usually forgets to keep the clocks wound) we consider the movement would be more reliable than the Smith hand wound clock. The extra cost per clock would be about 9/-d.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
