[Strikethrough] ------------- 4. 11. 22 [Handwritten] ROY{Sir Henry Royce}13/MG/24.10.22 ------------- Following suggestions that we should include a Schrader Tyre Pressure Gauge in all Tool Kits from now onwards, the Schrader Company have submitted:- (a) One Schrader Universal Type Gauge No. 2820 equipped with detachable foot suitable for Schrader Universal or old type Dunlop or Michelin Valve. (b) A right angle connection, by the use of which one can take a reading of the tyre pressure without disconnecting the Pump. The samples herewith, for examination. If in agreement, Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} presumably will circulate the usual Standardisation Sheet. The cost of the Gauge and the foot, including the small leather case will be about 4/2d. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} [Signature] Samples herewith. 2 Gauges. [Handwritten] 1 connection. [Handwritten] | ||
