| S.P.91 S. SMITH & SONS (Motor Accessories) LTD. CRICKLEWOOD WORKS, LONDON, N.W.2. CONTINUATION NO. 1. Item 6: As we believe the only case of hands becoming loose is on one of the original hand-made samples, (which is really due to the fact of the dial buckling) we do not think it necessary to adopt your suggestion for splining the hands on. If you really consider this modification necessary, naturally we shall be only too delighted to arrange same but, if we may say so, it will add unnecessarily to the cost of the instrument Always at your service. Yours faithfully, For S.SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES) LD. [Signature] SALES DIRECTOR Messrs.Rolls Royce Ld. 26. 6. 34. | ||
