Next week the writer will most probably attend a meeting of the Sales Conference to discuss the whole subject of instrument boards and their mounting with a view to getting a definite recommendation from them . We wish to put before them our proposals as far as they have gone and would be glad if you would send to me at once the patch of of instruments which are intended for Mr.Royce's new car. We know they are not perfect but they would bring home the idea . Could you semd these to the writer addressed to him at "Sales" marked "to await his arrival". These will be returned to you the next day. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} We hope to find a means of getting uniform dials for all the instruments in white porcelain like that used for watch dials. | ||
