INSTRUMENTS ON CHASSIS 5.B.IV.

AS it appears pretty obvious that there will be some delay in getting our instrument schemes made up with internally illuminated dials we suggest you arrange the instrument board for 5.B.IV. to take the standard arrangement with the exception of the speedometer and rev clock which we want to be of the slightly smaller diameter lightened type with larger trip figures. We are obtaining a pair of these instruments from the A.T.Co., but we think it would be wise to obtain a print of the D.O. arrangement showing these two new lightened instruments in position in case the holes for the trip and clock winders are different from standard.
