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}
