We beg to confirm the call of our Mr. Davey with regard to the above matter, and we are making arrangements to shorten the scale, or introduce special shims into the back tube to deal with the excess head imposed by the high side filler. In connection with this matter, it is highly advisable that we should have a sample tank for calibration, and we should be infinitely obliged if you could let us know when to expect one, as we could then do the whole of the work necessary, and also engrave new mask dials for the twelve dash units recently delivered, upon completion of [STAMPED TEXT BOX] WORLDS RECORD LAND SPEED: 206.95 M.P.H.
