| X20 Hsl/LG. X3896/X20 26th. May 1923. G.R.N.Minchin, Esq., 50, Grosvenor Gardens, S.W.1. Dear Minchin, Referring to your letter of the 23rd.inst. We have been using a Runbaken Gauge and there is no doubt it is a great convenience. The mechanism forms a nasty blob below the level of the petrol tank which is liable to get damaged under exceptional conditions, for instance, the one we had fitted to one of our experimental cars was damaged when we were changing the axle. The Runbaken people do not graduate the dial - we did our own - we could send you a graduated dial, if you wish. With regard to the 'Everlastic' Inner Tube. I have had no experience with this. Yours faithfully, | ||
