| 6051 By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. to Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.6/MA.18.3.35. SPEEDOMETERS & REV COUNTERS. Will you please arrange with Messrs. A.T. that they revert to our standard method of attachment for the drive flex. On the new instruments, they have supplied a knurled nut attachment instead of the brass cup with three set screws and on the new scheme of noise insulation for the dash where the speedometer drive is on the engine side, too large a hole would be required to pass the drive flex into position.
