Mr. Roy Knabenshue,

South Interior Building,
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Knabenshue:

Since returning from the trip to Gettysburg I have been checking over the Autogiro and find that both of the Tachometers have gone bad.

I was at Langley Field yesterday and secure one new one, in fact it was the only one they had in stock, and I will place that in the rear cockpit today, naturally the one in the front will still be out of commission.

Will you kindly secure for me either at Bolling Field or from some other source another Tachometer so ship will be in order, for your guidance I will give you the following information:

A.C. U.S. Army                      
Type C-5                                  
Serial # AC 35-919                         
                                                
Made by Elgin National Watch Co.
Order # 35-30695
Mfg part # TH 000
AC No AN 5520

Hoping you may be sucessful [[successful]] in this, I am

Sincerely yours
