| X4278 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY. {Sir Henry Royce} ROY {Sir Henry Royce} 2/MG30.12.22 Herewith example of the latest type Sparton Horn made in America, and of which they claim they are making some 3000 or more per day. The Graham Company, of London, have now acquired the rights of manufacture for this Horn, and will be submitting in a few weeks somewhat similar samples made up on their own Works. Have you any comments on this American made Sparton Horn which you would like the Graham Company, London to embody in their samples ? The Graham Company will of course finish these off in more English style, using plated nuts instead of galvanized, and other details such as this. ROY. {Sir Henry Royce} SAMPLE.
