| To C. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 44038 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG20.1.27. K.S. TELEGAGE. We understand from Messrs. Claudel Hobson that they have today sent you a blueprint shewing various types of faces, one of which they wish us to select as being the most suitable for a RR. Instrument Board. Our own opinion is that considering the faces to be numbered from left to right - Nos.1 and 4 are the best. With regard to the overall dimensions of the gauge face, we have given Messrs. Claudel Hobson the largest size which we think should be fitted on to the dashboard, because we want the gauge to be easily read. However, we think with advantage they could reduce the width of the space actually outside the lettered portion of the face. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
