| Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} XL4308 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 6/LG13.7.21. XL4308 BLERIOT A.T. SPEEDOMETER. We propose returning this Speedometer to the Bleriot people. We have not run this Speedometer on a chassis because it was ordered for Goshawk 11 chassis and as you are aware, no chassis of this type has yet been run. As it will probably be a long time before we can test it, we think it would be much better to return it to them. The instrument is not what we require. We are not interested in magnetic type speedometers at present. The instrument is too bulky and the finish is not what we require. We are sending this Speedometer into the Stores. Will you please issue the necessary instructions for it to be returned. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
