| To E.H. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E10/G29.3.19. 29th. Mar. 1919. x.3565. RE TEMPERATURE RECORDERS FOR CARS. Would you kindly note that Mr. Royce instructs me to write to you as if I were a customer, and ask for a thermometer to test whether my 40/50 H.P. car is running at the correct temperature. This is with a view to seeing what you are able to supply in such an eventually. Would you also note that we have instructed Mr. Olley to obtain and send to England, all the devices obtainable for measuring temperature on the cars. Would you also please, in somee accordance with Mr. Royce's wishes, do the same in England. We are under the impression that the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company can possibly supply a device for this purpose.
