Faulty Car Clocks (Smiths).

We have an arrangement with the makers of our clocks whereby all instruments which do not keep good time are to be sent to them for special examination and adjustment.

Under this arrangement we wish to return two instruments, the particulars of which are as follows :-

One DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}2322 No.264.

One an earlier modified type with a large case and windows No.4.

Will you please make the necessary arrangements for their despatch, addressing them for the attention of Mr. Arrowsmith.

Details of their behaviour will be forwarded to the makers under separate cover and in due course they will be returned to us for laboratory examination and test.
