C.W.Nichols Esq.,

Cricklewood Works,
LONDON.N.W.2.

Dear Mr.Nichols,

Thank you for your letter dated 30th. January.

We are now keeping a record of every electrical clock we have in use.

There is one feature of this clock which I omitted to mention, that is it is noisy. You many smile at this but I can assure you we have often removed noises from our engines much less than this. I will, however, discuss the matter with Mr. Arrowsmith.

You will be pleased to hear our Board have had the wisdom to go right ahead with car work during hostilities.

Yours sincerely,
