In reply to your letter of the 27th inst, we note that it will be in order for us to proceed with a three-wire type of instrument and that the Oil Gauge will be independent of the existing petrol gauge. We are arranging to layout a suitable Sump Attachment and will let you have a print of this immediately it is available. For record purposes will you kindly note the following codes: Sump Attachment Y.47142, suitable for your Sump to drawing E.B.2861, and Meter X.47143. We regret having to bother you with a number of queries but shall be glad if you will indicate the model to which this instrument will be fitted in order that the Oil Gauge Meter can be married up with the petrol gauge meter. Yours faithfully, for S. SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LIMITED. V.J.S. Russell ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. To avoid delay all envelopes should be addressed to the firm. | ||
