Comparing a new cut-out instrument with the Lucas and Smith types.


Identifier  ExFiles\Box 48\3\  Scan167
Date  6th December 1920
  
Contd. -8- EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T6.12.20.

For this and other reasons, such as reduced range of operation between hot and cold, we consider this cut-out a more reliable and a better instrument generally than the Lucas cut-out at present in use, and probably quite equal in performance to any results we are likely to obtain from the Smith type.

[Handwritten in left margin, crossed out: X.1723]
The weight of the instrument is 1 lb. 3 ozs.
We are sending this cut-out to Mr. Royce under separate cover, as we think he would like to examine its construction.
