With reference to our conversation of yesterday, your Mr. Gibson has handed to us a report of the comparative tests of a standard tall stabalite encased coil No.4383 borrowed from production, and the tall redmanol encased coils TR {Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} 2 and TR {Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} 3.

It is now suggested that further comparative tests of the tall redmanol encased coil TR {Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} 1 and the tall stabalite encased coil TS6, SHOULD BE MADE which coils we have accordingly handed to your Mr. Gibson for the purpose.

At the same time we have received from you the standard stabalite encased coil No.4383 and we hope to receive the redmanol encased coil TR {Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} 3 from 7-GII, upon which two coils we shall make comparative bench tests.

We shall like to have your report on further tests as soon as convenient, which will enable us to issue a comprehensive report on the whole matter.
