| To WGR. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} *6,39 TKT E.11/HP.5.4.33. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Bw/HD.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} re Switches. We have just received memo K.3/M.28.3.33, and we note that in the last paragraph K.{Mr Kilner} now agrees to keep the ignition switch separate from the lighting switch, also to arrange the former above the latter as we show in our scheme - D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Sch.634. We shall, therefore, go ahead with the design of the switchbox on these lines. The only point now left in doubt is the number and arrangement of the contact positions, but we are proceeding to deal with this. This memo will replace our comments with regard to the switchbox - item 2, minute 2, in our E.5/HP.5.4.33. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
