| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Derby. Levallois MNG5/ET.30.12.35 G.C. Re: JAEGER REV COUNTER FOR AIRCRAFT With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/MA.12.12.35, we have been endeavouring to obtain the necessary information from Messrs. Jaeger. Unfortunately, we have the impression that they are afraid of dealing with us direct, in view of the fact that they have Agents in England, whom they are afraid of upsetting. Nevertheless, we have now obtained a definite promise from their Monsieur Thévenot to give us all the necessary information and the price of the rev counter delivered Paris. We could arrange to dispatch this instrument per Messrs. Franco-Britannic Autos Ltd., by grande vitesse. According to Messrs. Jaeger, the delivery would be about 15 days. We will write to you again as soon as we have the price and the description of the rev counter, which by the way will be graduated up to 4000 r.p.m. MNG. | ||
