Our Speedometer is governed by the principle of Air-friction, which principle being the most accurate yet discovered, is confined by master Patents to the products of the Waltham Watch Co.Ltd., Our Automobile Clock is the only Clock built with two main springs which guarantee accurate time-keeping at all times and under the most severe conditions. We enclose herewith, leaflets describing and illustrating our productions. Yours truly, WALTHAM WATCH CO.,LTD., [Illegible Signature] European Autocessories Manager. | ||
