| X1756 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG. 2nd. April 1934. The Portland Garage, Clumber Street, Mansfield. Dear Mr. Evinson, Thank you for your letter of the 1st. inst. I would recommend that you get Mr. Braithwaite to send along a description and sketches of his apparatus. There are instruments such as you describe already on the market. We think we should be putting Mr. Braithwaite to unnecessary expense in coming to Derby because there is very little chance of our adopting such an instrument. We do not even supply speedometers with the chassis. We should be quite please, however, to give our opinion from the description. Yours faithfully, | ||
