SMITH EMPIRE ELECTRIC CLOCK.

We have previously issued a standardisation sheet for the Empire Electric Clock when this was marketed by the Boyce Motor Accessories Co. and we have now completed a 10,000 miles test with a similar clock handled and submitted to us for test by Messrs Smiths.

This has given every satisfaction and we recommend the adoption of these clocks on production accordingly.
