Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. H.E. West. Dear Sir, We thank you for your letter of the 11th inst., calling for two Jaeger Electric Clocks complete with glass and bezel, so that you may experiment with these as a separate item. We, as you know, are preparing six of these clocks suitable for the Phantom model, and we could send you two of these by the end of next week. Will you let us know if this will do, or whether you would prefer an additional two made up with an ordinary type of bezel and glass to fix into a panel from the front. We could then make up two of these specially for you. We would make it clear that in any case two of the six clocks above mentioned will be despatched by one week to-day from Mr. Borer at Cricklewood. Awaiting your reply which shall have the writer's immediate attention. We beg to remain, Yours faithfully, FOR THE A.T. SPEEDOMETER CO. LTD. [Signature: H R Buckland] Director & General Manager. | ||
