SMITH ELECTRIC CLOCK.

A standard Smith electric clock has been removed from car 25.G.VI and handed to us, with the complaint that it is damaged.

The positive terminal pin is broken off and the instrument appears to be also damaged inside as it fails to wind.

Will you please arrange for the return of this clock to the makers for repair.
