| X6135. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/AD.5.8.32. 20/25 HP. SPEEDOMETER DIAL We have received from Messrs. Smiths a photo print of the proposed new dial indicating kilos and miles per hour. We agree that the figures on this are much clearer and well defined but the addition of the kilometre scale we consider complicates the reading. Was it your intention that this dmal scale speedometer should be standard on all 20/25 chassis or only to specification? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
