| X6129 from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/AD3.10.31. WATFORD 100 M.P.H. MAGNETIC TYPE SPEEDOMETER. Answering your PN{Mr Northey}4/WT2.10.31. As the matter was left with Messrs. North & Sons, after our bench tests of a sample instrument, it was arranged that they should submit a further instrument made up with a Cambridge dial to suit our standard instrument patch. We enquired a short time ago as to what was being done and were informed by their Mr. Allen that owing to a rush in supplying these instruments to Standard's and Leylands they had got rather behind with our instrument. However, we have written them again urging this instrument. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
