X6022 X6026 RE INSTRUMENT BOARD CLOCKS. With reference to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}36/E.29.9.31. since R.{Sir Henry Royce} has not raised any objection to ordering Boyce electric clocks, we are now arranging for one dozen to be obtained suitable for the instrument patch on Phantom II, and one dozen of the usual type for the ordinary form of instrument board, as fitted on the 20/25 HP. chassis. Immediately these are available, we will arrange for them to be fitted on cars being used by the Company in cases where the existing clocks can be made use of. We understand that we do not supply clocks on the 20/25 HP. chassis as part of our standard equipment, so that if it is considered preferable to order clocks for Phantom II only, we would arrange to do so on hearing from you.
