Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ld, DERBY. "Attention of Mr.H.E.West" Dear Sirs, We thank you for your courteous letter of yesterday (Ref:Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/MA) which, by the way, crossed with ours of the same date. We are sending you today sample of our own production magnetic Combined Rev. Indicator and Watch for inspection and test and on Monday next sample of our standard magnetic small dial Speedometer will be posted to you. We shall be interested to learn the result of your tests. Meantime, as already mentioned, these instruments will compare most favourably with any of our competitors' designs, the interesting points to your goodselves being that they are appreciably less costly than the A.T. apart from the fact that they conform with your wishes as regards the question of weight. The 82 m/m combined Petrol and Oil Gauge will be sent you next week. Concerning the burnt-out Petrol Gauge Tank Attachment referred to, you will have gathered from ours of yesterday's date that we are anxious to obtain this instrument, and look forward | ||
