Will you please arrange for the speedometer on the above chassis to be altered to suit the low geared axle which is to be fitted. The correct revs per mile for the speedometer will be 835 and if the instrument is sent away by post Messrs.A.T. will correct the same with all speed if they are informed that it is specially required for a certain date. Will you please also arrange to fit 9 watt bulbs to the two lamp holders on the speedometer and rev counter instrument board. This is to give extra limits [handwritten: Cger] for these two instruments as the customer has complained that the existing illumination is insufficient. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
