| LID{A. J. Lidsey} X6051 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}1/MG24.5.32 A.T.Speedometers We are returning to the makers 24 A.T.Speedometers - the accumulation of some years ex the Experimental Shop, but I am afraid it will be quite impossible to modernize same at a reasonable charge and bring them in for current production. Meantime perhaps you would kindly advise all concerned the importance of returning similar instruments, i.e. Ammeters, Speedometers, Petrol Gauges, etc., for modernization or otherwise as and when the tests are completed, rather than let an accumulation arise as in the present instance.
