Dear Mr.Robotham, In the first place thanks so much for your courtesy and hospitality during the visit of Mr.Hurn and myself on Thursday. I have pleasure in confirming that it has been arranged in regard to the instrument panel that you will kindly furnish us with a drawing of the proposed design. If you will let us have those items which are non-Smith and which are required to complete the facia scheme we will use our best endeavours to find ways and means of taking care of this job. There is just one point in reference to the wireless control unit. If you have formulated any ideas as to the particular type in which you are interested will you let us know and be good enough to let us have this item in addition to the above-mentioned. Electric Clock I am most anxious to convince you that the present design is a good commercial | ||
