| R.R. 235a (100 T) (S.H. 798) 10-12-20. G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2948 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} c. to CO/Dn. X 4278 Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 8/NJ14.3.21. X.4278 - Alfred Graham & Co. Electrical Autohorn. Further to mine Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 4/NJ10.3.21, we are in receipt of a letter from these people, dated 11th inst. as follows:- "We have pleasure in advising you that we have produced a further all aluminium model of the "GRAHAM" Electrical Autohorn and we are taking the liberty of sending the trumpet only to you as we think this will give the best note of the whole range. That, however, is only our opinion and it may be that one of the other sizes would suit your requirements best. After you have had these Horns on test, and, entirely at your convenience we should be obliged if you would let us have your criticisms of this warning signal." I am sending to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} with this note a parcel which I assume contains the trumpet abovereferred to and I also send a price list A.D.1 and a leaflet A.D.11, which I received with the letter. Parcel herewith. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} | ||
