| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wat.4/MA.15.12.33. Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} The standard speedometers have an average variation per cent of 1.5 between 19° and 30°. We have been provisionally quoted a figure approx. 30/- below the price we are now paying for the existing Bentley instruments. It is now proposed to have a special patch made to take these instruments and get them tested as soon as possible on the road in order that a standardization sheet can be issued for them.
