Dear Sirs, Gent Electric Instrument Board Clock. We have yours of the 7th November, and are pleased to note you are returning the Clock to us so that we may fit a knurled knob for setting the hands, as proposed. We also noticed the rather large holes in the back of the case, but we did not wish to alter your case in any way because of damaging same. At your suggestion, however, we shall be pleased to temporarily close the holes when fitting the knurled knob. We will give the Clock our attention when it arrives, and are Yours faithfully, FOR GENT & CO. LTD. W.
