| PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. C. CX.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} X6129 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/AD21.10.31. WATFORD 100 M.P.H. MAGNETIC SPEEDOMETER. Answering your PN{Mr Northey}2/WT.16.10.31 with reference to the above, we spoke to the Watford representative at their stand at Olympia yesterday and elicited the information that the speedometer was ready and would be despatched to us in time for fitting, if possible, to 18-GIV for 10,000 mile test in France. Their explanation for the delay was that it was due to pressure of other work. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
