| 6065 To Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} c. to G/JWH. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}5/JH.20.12.39. Speedometer for car 4.B.50. A few days ago we received from the makers, speedometer no. Y.700, which had been sent to them to be re-calibrated. We now find on fitting this instrument on the car, that the hodometer portion is faulty, as none of the miles recording figures move when running the speedometer Will you please therefore have this instrument returned for correction.
