RE LIGHTING INSTALLATION AT WEST WITTERINGHenry Royce's home town.
We thank you for sending the miniature switch.
Would you kindly note that Mr. Royce approves of this pattern.
On the model in question there appears to be no ledge on which the heads of the screws could rest, but there seems to be a slow taper, which Mr. Royce thinks may require some screws with heads of rather accurate dimensions.
Perhaps you could, when sending the switches, or when fixing them up in Derby on to the distributor boards, make sure that the fixing screws are the correct size.
Your proposals for the remainder of the installation are awaited.
E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
