OUR REF: AEB: YOUR REF: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/AD. Handwritten Note: HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 18/11/31 Date: 17th November 1931. --- Dear Sirs, ELECTRICALLY OPERATED CAR CLOCK. With reference to Gents' Pattern Electrically Operated Car Clock which you returned to us to have a setting knob fitted, this now has been done and the Clock is being returned to you to-day. Please note, it is necessary to push in the knob before turning the hands. This enables the Mechanism to be quite free of the setting spindle while working. We may mention that we have not yet fitted an outside control for the regulator, but this would be arranged in the bulk if favoured with your order. Assuring you of our attention, and trusting to have a favourable report, we are, Yours faithfully, FOR GENT & CO.LTD.
