| Copy of letter received from:- A.T.SPEEDOMETER CO.LTD., 45 & 45A, BROOK GREEN, LONDON, W.6. Our Ref.-McE/W. 11th January, 1923. Messrs.Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Re - Replacement Order No.R77. Dear Sirs, We have received the Speedometer No.8471 sent against the above order, and thank you for pointing out the fault. We are replacing this with one of the new type, which we think you will find quite satisfactory. With regard to the flexible Drive Universal Coupling, we have altered this by putting an additional slot to prevent the coupling from being noisy, and in future all these will be this pattern. If you have any of the old type, those without the slot across the coupling - and return them to us, we will replace same without delay. Yours faithfully, FOR A.T.SPEEDOMETER CO.LTD., (Sgd.) H.O.Booth. ENCLOSURE Nº 457 "JUSTSO" | ||
