Dear Sirs, Further to Mr.F.G.Thacker's visit to your works lastweek, a number of items were discussed, and amongst them the question of the ignition coil, and we are pleased to note that you informed Mr.Thacker that the performance of the two samples recently sent to you was quite satisfactory, and we would mention here that we have despatched a further two samples to you yesterday, for your attention as requested. We also enclose herewith a set of drawings in connection with this Ignition Coil, giving the details of the various parts which go to build up the coil, and we trust that these drawings will meet with your requirements. Referring to our telephone conversation of this morning, on the subject of the LRT7 Regulator on the RF30 base which you returned to us as being faulty, we confirm having run this regulator for 35 hours under various conditions, but have so far failed to produce any troubles at all. The regulator is functioning and doing all that is required of it according to the specification test. We understand, however, that you would like your Mr.Pignatt to come over here tomorrow (Friday) to discuss this regulator and other subjects. We shall be pleased to receive him and give him our attention. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LD [Signature] | ||
