Bailey - Chief Engineer}✓ c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}✓ ORIGINAL EFC6/LG19.2.29. 'SS{S. Smith}' SEQUENCE STARTER. x7625/55 We have further confirmed by careful trial that the frequency of failure through corner jamming, in cases where such occurs, is little affected, and certainly not consistently affected, by the magnitude of the voltage applied to operate the system. The relative value of different arrangements is therefore to be judged in operation on a voltage approximately of normal value. EFC. | ||
