| (3) We have asked Smith & Sons to send you a model of our latest design of combined speedometer and tachometer and glass edge illumination. We take it that as you are doing the design of the instrument patch you will also make a design for this combined speedometer and tachometer patch based on Smith's effort, which we have seen, and consider to be extraordinarily good as far as the lighting is concerned. We suppose this combined unit will be used eventually on P. 2. continental touring saloon, and the 20/25 special touring saloon. We shall also need a single speedometer with its own illumination for use on the standard P.2., 20/25. and Peregrine, but of course there is no great hurry for this.
