Wraith Speedometers.
We hand you herewith:-
1 A.T.Speedometer No.S.920.
Will you please arrange to despatch same to the makers for re-calibration rev/mile to be altered from 772/776.
We would like you to point out that we should like this instrument to be as accurate as possible at 30 m.p.h, but certainly not slow.
