Biddeford, Maine, February 3, 1883.
ROCKFORD WATCH CO., Rockford, Ill.
Gents: We have a little story to tell in regard to the running of one of your adjusted movements on the Boston and Maine R.R. We sold it and regulated it a short time before the engineer put it in his pocket, the 9th of last April, and ran it upon Cambridge time for ten months, and the total variation was only 24 seconds, and then he neglected to wind it up. Variation was less than 3 seconds when it ran down. He ran from Dover to Portland, 105 miles a day.
Yours truly, TWAMBLEY & CLEAVES.
The movement referred to in this letter is still carried daily by its owner, Geo. W. Smith, on the engine Dover.
The man who did buy a Rockford watch.
(On board.)
The man who did not buy a Rockford watch.
(He got left.)
