S. SMITH & SONS (Motor Accessories) LTD., CRICKLEWOOD WORKS, LONDON, N.W.2. Continuation No. RP81 R.{Sir Henry Royce} Davis, Esq. 19th April 1937. I am pleased to learn from Mr. Manwaring that the new Electric Clock is functioning satisfactorily. Regarding your enquiry as to price - unfortunately it is not possible to give you definite information at the moment as the design is not in production, but I can promise that the figure will not be in excess of that obtaining in the case of your present electric clock. Mr. Russell will be writing you to-day with regard to the proposed use of graphite bearings for petrol Gauge tank attachments, and the question of an improved type of ter-minal for the petrol Gauge meter. Yours truly, (Sgd) Charles W. Nichols. | ||
