| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. to Wox. c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 46081 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.7/MA.15.5.35. SPEEDOMETER DIALS FOR 20/25. Whilst at Smiths yesterday it was suggested that if we could agree to the 20/25 speedometer with a 100 M.P.H. dial it would bring both cars into line and avoid having to produce two sets of printing dies for the new concave dials. We should be glad to have your remarks on this new proposal. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
