Speedometer for inspection. We see no reason why A.T. Speedometers could not be fitted to 40/50 chassis if a customer requested it. The instrument which was sent to us, we criticised as regards the method of fixing to the Instrument Board, appearance and finish of dial and angle at which the drive is taken off. We believe that the A.T.Speedometer people are prepared to follow our requirements on these points. We recommend that you get in touch with the A.T.Speedometer people and find out whether they are in a position to supply Speedometers to suit our requirements. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
