Dear Sirs, We are sending you under separate cover one small dial 40/50 HP. speedometer. We wish this speedometer arranging to suit a car in which it does 795 revs/mile. You will recollect that the speedometer for our standard 15/52 axle does 735 revs/mile. If you cannot arrange exactly 795 revs/mile we should like to know how near you can get to this figure. The matter is urgent as the speedometer is required for a car that is going abroad in the immediate future. Yours faithfully, | ||
