These instruments require minor repairs due to the accident on the above car. At the same time we should like the A.T.Co., to carry out the following modifications :- (1) Rev indicator and Clock. This now reads slow and should be made as nearly as possible 2% fast with a red segment between 4500 and full scale. The clock requires a regulator at the back. (2) Speedometer. We require this altering to standard in respect to its calibration (i.e. 797 revs per mile and the scale 5% fast at 60 M.P.H. and 6% at 100. Will you please arrange to return these instruments to the Makers for repair and modification accordingly. Order No.54107. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
