| S/W. C. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} WST Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}2/KW6.7.37. I think you will be interested in reading copy of a letter which we have received from Jack Barclay Ltd on the subject of the latest instruments on R-R and Bentley cars. Whilst the letter refers to Smiths equipment generally it would appear that it is centred chiefly around the electric clocks supplied. I understand from H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} that the clocks are a constant nuisance and source of endless expense. Enc. of letter from J.Barclay dated 2.7.37. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
