| -2- I have not met with a single case of Tele-Hartfords which is not giving satisfaction. Jack Barclay fits them as a matter of ordinary routine to every Rolls-Royce Continental which passes through his hands, and therby sells a much better car. When at W. last week I discussed the matter from the technical point of view with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}, and they both agreed that having regard to it being likely that at least 12 months would elapse before any R.R. equivalent device would be standardised, we should be well advised to fit the Tele-Hartfords forthwith, in other words they had no technical criticism of the proposition to make, whatever. I consider the matter a very urgent one. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
