| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. Ey. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}/RD. WST 86092 E.1/HP.19.5.36. Scintilla Regulator. Your report reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.10/MJ.13.5.36, confirms the favourable impression we have formed of the Scintilla scheme. I agree that we should put in hand as soon as possible a regulator designed on these lines, in fact I think this work has already been started. Can you please find out if we are likely to run into any patents covering the Scintilla regulator. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
