Cox - Advertising Manager}4/KW.24.5.34., re the above the question of larger trip figures has been held up due to the fact that the counters incorporating these larger figures have given serious trouble in other respects. Messrs.A.T. however, have now satisfactorily overcome the trouble and we have one of these speedometers with the latest type trip on test at the moment, as soon as our tests are completed the usual standardisation sheet will follow.
