| X4468 PN. {Mr Northey} 11/WT4.9.28. S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ...from PN. {Mr Northey} Good 16-6 You should have received in a car which came to Derby two or three days ago, a pair of steam indicators instruments addressed to you. I imagine that as you are so far having to borrow indicators of this description for your use, you may like to retain this pair if they are of the type useful for your purpose. With regard to their value as I am not likely to use them again, I am prepared to let them go at any reasonable figure which you may care to quote. When I am at Derby on Thursday next I would like to speak to you amongst other matters about the following :- A. {Mr Adams} The above. B. The proposed reduction of the size of the faces of speedometers on 40/50 H.P. cars. C. Cadmium plating for springs. D. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} The effect on high speed and low speed acceleration of varying rear axle gear ratios. PN. {Mr Northey} us | ||
