Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} X1627 X3129 X 2512 RE PRODUCTION TESTING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. X.3445 Referring to your memo Bn {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} 24/W29919, the position in the Production Department to the above is as follows:- (1) Push Button Switch. (2) Main Switch. (3) Starter Motor. (4) Actuating Box. The last two items were started on definitely to-day and no more of any of the above parts will be sent through to EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} department for testing purposes. The position with regard to the remainder of the items is as follows:- (1) Condenser. We shall taken over the testing of the Condensers as soon as EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} , can supply us with the transformer coil he is having wound for this service. At the same time it was arranged that EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} , should hand over his Milli-ammeter, and that on our part we will arrange for the new instrument to be handed over to him when it arrives. (2) Ignition Coil & Ballast Resistance. In order to start definitely on this unit we are awaiting delivery of a volt meter reading from 1 to 15 volts in 10ths of a volt. We have offered to do the testing at once, if EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} , can lend us his volt meter which reads as required, but he prefers to carry on with the Ignition coil testing until we obtain delivery of our own volt meter. I have taken up this question with Hy {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} , and the O.O. and expect to hear something definite about same in a few days. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
